Barry Tuckwell's edition of Mozart's Concertos for Horn brings the four numbered concertos together with additional concerto material in one horn-and-piano collection. Published as Volume 2004 of G. Schirmer's Library of Classics, the 158-page edition includes piano reductions and Tuckwell's historical and analytical commentary. Its contents also extend to the E-flat-major fragment K. 370b, the Rondo K. 371, and the unfinished E-major concerto fragment K. 494a.
Mozart's horn writing asks players to unite singing phrasing with clearly articulated passagework. The Third Concerto, for example, contrasts the lyrical Romanze with a finale shaped by the horn's hunting-call tradition. Those different demands make the collection useful for developing Classical style as well as preparing concerto movements for performance. Keeping the concertos and fragments together also makes it convenient to compare Mozart's approaches to the instrument, with Tuckwell's editorial observations alongside the music.
Here is Mozart's Concerto No. 3 performed by Barry Tuckwell.
