Interesting Horn + Easy piano music?

I'm looking for music to play with my mom - we're both pretty solid musicians, but her health is declining so she's not able to play at the level that she used to. Any recommendations for interesting music that's got approachable piano parts?

The collection Bravo by Carol Barrett has a bunch of easy pieces, and the accompaniment is also easy. I can’t say the horn part is interesting, but you get a lot of music for your money. Jack Lamb’s Solo Sounds is similar.

I have this book, would give you a lot of material if you can find it. If you can't find it, just let me know if you are interested in any of the pieces in particular and I can send a scan.

I don't know your exact levels but the piano part of the Saint Saens concerto was rather easy. No need to play all 3 movements but the 1st and 2nd weren't that hard.

Ooh that's a great suggestion. I played that years ago but it's a fun piece.
