Ludwig van Beethoven composed his Natural Horn Sonata in F major, Op.
It was premiered with Punto as the soloist, accompanied on the piano by Beethoven himself in Vienna on April 18, 1800.
"[2] This work was written for the natural horn and in the cor basse idiom, i.e. Beethoven incorporates rapid arpeggios in the first and third movement as well as use of the factitious low G below the second harmonic.
It was then published as "Sonate pour le Forte-Piano avec un Cor ou Violoncelle."
A further arrangement for string quintet was made by oboist Carl Khym for the music publisher Simrock in 1817.
