Please excuse the historical nitpicking.
"You don't see parts for Horn in H very often. The only two pieces in standard repertoire where I recall seeing horn in H is the second movement of Brahms 2 (1st & 2nd horns) and a short passage in the 5th movement of Schumann's Rhenish symphony, in the 3rd & 4th parts." Brahms 1, movement 3 has a real exciting passage for third and fourth horn in H. "But think what nOnSeNsE would result if the Bb 2nd horn part of Mozart 40th were played basso!" The first and last movement of Mozart 40 are written for horn I in Bb alto and Horn II in G, giving the horns the ability to play in g minor with a more open (think: hand horn) sound.
