There are some good liner notes with Michael Thompson's recording of the
complete works for horn and orchestra by Mozart. If I remember correctly, the
"adjustment" that Mozart made in Leitgeb's declining abilities was in the
range of the "1st" concerto, not in the hand technique.

always found the 1st Concerto to be demanding in many ways, and it seems to me
the hand-stopping technique required is greater in the 1st mvt. of K.412 than
in some of the others......
Recent scholarship dates the horn concerti in the order 2, 3, 4, 1, with no.
1 (K. 412) being the last composed. This piece is less demanding than the
others, and this is believed to reflect the decline of Leitgeb's prowess either
with age or with his music being increasingly relegated to a sideline.
