The most extensive source of horn music from the first half of the 18th century is a handwritten collection of the Academic Chapel, today held at Lund University Library in Sweden. Many of the composers represented in it were connected in one way or another to the Dresden court, and it is possible that the copyist was a horn player who had visited that city.

Carl Heinrich Graun (1703–1759)
Trio in D major for horn, violin and basso
Handed down under the name "Graun," which certainly refers to Carl Heinrich Graun and not his brother Johann Gottlieb Graun. The same applies as for Concerto No. 16. It is the only composition in the Lund Collection with a realized figured bass.
