Urtext editions with original transposition horn parts are available from a
number of sources, such as Bretikopf and Hartel, Barenreiter Verlag, etc.
Edited editions containing varying degrees of editing ( ranging from a few
phrasing marks, to as much as almost rewriting the piece ) are also available
and most edited versions provide transposed horn parts. It is embarrasing to
say, but I have a dozen different publications of each concerto, but I use a
copy of the urtext edition when I performed them with orchestra and edit the
part to my own tastes. I have one edited version for valve horn and another
edited version for hand horn. I use copies because the orchestral parts from
various publishers are not alike, and some are of different length. So I had to
adjust the solo part accordingly. When playing with piano accompaniment, I
prefer the Jones - Schirmer edition because I think the piano reduction is
better. The Dalley Horn Catalogue lists 54 different publications of the
concertos. That is too many to discuss their merits here. Ragards.
