The French-born horn player Henri Kling edited Mozart's horn concertos for Breitkopf & Hartel. He prepared the piano reductions himself and set markings in the solo parts. In subsequent printings the editions were supplemented by a part for horn in F, thus making them ideally suited for the performance practice.

The original orchestration featured an interplay between the supporting clarinet, horn, and strings, which Dorff felt was lost in his first piano reduction of the Concerto. To restore that aspect of the piece, he has fashioned this chamber ensemble version, which uses the piano in lieu of strings only. Dorff explains, The result yields a chamber work that allows the contrabassoonist an opportunity to perform the work on formal and informal concert series, enjoys the interaction of an ensemble, is musically complete, and has a practical piano part..

With the publication of the score and parts of the D-major Horn Concerto K. 412/514, the Mozart expert Henrik Wiese adds another milestone to his edition of this important work group which was begun in 2013. In the course of time, the piece that was first edited in the Old Mozart Edition of 1881 as Mozarts 1st Horn Concerto turned out to be a pasticcio: while the opening movement is indisputably by Mozart, the elaboration of the Rondo must now be attributed to Sussmayr. This movement is transmitted solely as a sketch in Mozarts hand. The present edition contains both the Sussmayr Rondo (K. 514 = smWV 502) and the Mozartian Rondo fragment (K. 412) which was carefully completed by Wiese. The performer will thus have the choice between the traditional version (with Sussmayr) and the version presumably intended by Mozart, all in one practical edition.

In Cooperation with G. Henle Verlag. EB 10701 contains the parts for horn in F and Eb.
