A senior here at Capital recently performed the Heiden Sonata.  Here  are the 
program notes she used.
 
 
"Sonata for Horn and Piano was written in 1939 for Theodore Seder, the  first 
horn of the Detroit Symphony that year.  It begins in 2/2 time, using  the 
piano to highlight changes throughout the movement.  Contrasting  periods of 
calm and energy carry the movement to it's final half-time statement  of the 
theme.  The second movement is a minuet, with a vivace section  contrasting 
horn 
and piano, and a soothing coda.  The finale is a  dance-like rondo showing 
independence of horn and piano parts."
 
Hope that is helpful.
