The Mozart expert Henrik Wiese edits the central work genre of Viennese classicism according to the current status of international Mozart research.

The clean autograph of the Horn Concerto in Eb major K. 447 offers a reliable basis for the present Urtext edition, which deliberately abstains from leveling out certain fine points and smaller divergences made by Mozart at parallel and repeated passages.

In the edition for horn and piano, the two solo parts contain two cadenza suggestions for the first movement, as well as lead-ins (also alternative) for measures 22 and 196 in the third movement. The distinguished Mozart specialist Robert D. Levin offers a variety of multiply interrelated motivic and melodic sections from which every horn player can put together his own cadenza.
