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.
