Under Louis XV horn players became more ceremonious, began to specialize in elaborate fanfares signaling such things as the "Salute to the Queen" and the appearance of "The Ladies' Carriage." The ladies were provided with their own little horns with which to answer the bucks in the field. By the 18th century horn buffs were experimenting with waltzes, mazurkas and polkas.
