URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.

More information can be found here.

Misc. Notes Horn players often use the Mozart Concerti as recital pieces—with piano—but both the concerti and the pianists suffer as a result. The goal of this arrangement is to be logistically practical for a recital while providing an accompaniment that is both idiomatic and satisfying. The horn player should not view it as chamber music in the usual sense. The editor recommends that the horn player perform as a soloist, standing (or sitting) in front of the piano trio. The horn part is unedited and unchanged from Mozart's original.
