Rosetti’s Concerto in E-flat Major is written in the classical style, but is technically more demanding than the Mozart concerti. The first movement is in sonata-allegro form and contains fast sixteenth-note passages, lip trills, and numerous grace notes. It is quite long and contains a cadenza. The second movement is a lyrical romance that also contains a cadenza. The third movement is a traditional lively rondo. Some performers choose to augment fermatas with a quasi-cadenza, but this is not a requirement. This edition includes only the horn part in E flat and does not supplement music for the cadenzas.
