The Largo on hand was first published 1818/1819 in Leipzig by Breitkopf & Haertel. The arrangement (author unknown) is based on Joseph Haydn's string quartet Hob III:74 the so-called "Reiter-Quartett" (equestrian quartet). This piece of music by the way is very interesting because it considers the particularities of the natural horn. Its originality lies in the contemporary arrangement of a popular work of music.
