Yup, that's it.

It's been mostly wind band music, like the Fidelio arrangement, and the
Sedlak(?) arrangement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. Also a couple of
Krommer Nonets.

But, did you know that the horn parts of the ***NMA*** edition of our
concerto, K622, originally in A of course, are printed in F, with no
alternatives provided?

That's surely even worse. Wow.
