The possibility of a performance of the early version of the fifth "Brandenburg Concerto" in Dresden in 1717 was first tentatively proposed by harpsichordist and musicologist in the early 1990s.

Horn Concertos (Mozart) or 1786 (Humphries 2000, 87).

When a CD has only one of the horn concertos, it is typically paired with another concerto for a wind instrument also by Mozart. Horn Concertos (Mozart) The Horn Concertos by Wolfgang
