Yes, I agree that most of the edited Mozart Horn Concerti are edited in a way against the Mozart style. Some editors even dared to add embellishment so do some even well known soloists. In Vienna, we grew up with the Henri Kling Edition, which following more or less the Urtext (see 1888 first

Klaus, it cannot be overheard that the Caesar solo aria horn solo is scored for F-horn, because it would not be possible for any other natural horn, to play this aria. There are two other 4 horn numbers there, scored for G-horns, with a cadenza up to our high d3 in p dynamics - very delicate. And

I've got the chance to accept a voluntary position to play principal Horn in my school's production in West Side Story (or at least call dibs on it) and I was curious if there were any good horn solos in it. It's been a while since I've heard/watched it so if there are any good moments for
