Concerto für 4 Hörner und Orchester Es-Dur

The premiere performance took place in Berlin, 16th October 1818, probably named Concertino for 3 natural horns and one chromatical horn ("Concertino für drei Waldhörner und einem chromatischem Horne").

This concerto is only preserved in a copy of e flat-major. According to the catalogue of Darmstadt, the concerto was originally written in e-major. Thus it will be edited in both versions. The music in e-major will be sold on special order with a fortnight delivery time (parts, score and piano reduction).

The common version in e flat major is something easier to play in the first horn part, which is composed up to written e'''.
