I have a recording of this with the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra
and the horns are playing B natural alto.

Speaking of Haydn Symphonies, I have a question about Symphony No.
46. Are the horn parts in B natural alto or basso? I first became
aware of the symphony when it appeared on a CD conducted by Ilan
Volkov that accompanied a BBC Music Magazine. The players obviously
played the parts as alto. However, the Haydn Orchestral Excerpt
book published by Margun Music has the parts listed as basso.
I'd like to think that they are alto since they are from the same
period as Maria Theresa where the C parts are alto.
