Sorry, I read "high "Es" ", but read it in the German way - late night after Frau ohne Schatten - , which would mean "Es" = E-flat.
How about the end of the first movement ? There is the climax with the rung over high d up to high e3. And the third movement with the high e3 & several high d3 ? This is from the original. And regarding second horn: did you ever consider that Schumann had the two high horns at position 1 & 2 and the two lower horns at position 3 & 4, as later did Anton Bruckner ? And Richard Strauss did not only compose the symphonic poems, but also many very, very demanding operas. Greetings from early morning (7:00 AM after short sleep).

Just a half > step ? Hans, The Arrangement of the Schumann I have was published by International Music Company in 1968, (editor unknown) and the last time I performed it was some three years ago. No, it has not been transposed down!!! I have the music in front of me now, and, in this arrangement, I find no high e3s or d3s for the first part in the first movement. The third movement does have two e3s, one (with an optional rest) 19 measures after letter Q, and the other (with an optional octave down passage) five measures from the end of the third movement. At the age of 58, with more than 30 years of first horn orchestral playing behind me, I feel I am more than qualified to perform this work, and have always been able to play the e3s as they appear in my arrangement. You may have access to other, more exact versions, but I do not. I am not a full time pro, and not nearly as talented as you are either, and that does make a difference. Nor do I have access to a section the quality of your's - another consideration. Also, you may play lots of Strauss, etc., where the second horn goes to b above the staff, but the last time we played Strauss in this area was Don Juan, some five years ago. Otherwise, my second horn player seldom goes above a top space g.
