The Horn Sonata in E minor, Op.
[2] Like the earlier horn sonata, the precise details of this composition's creation are not known, though it may have been the response to the publication in 1812 of a horn sonata by virtuoso pianist Nikolaus von Krufft.
28, the work was first published scored for piano and natural horn with the possibility of a cello being substituted for the horn in performance.
As in the earlier work the piano is the dominant instrument, with the horn in an essentially acommpanying role, albeit with opportunities to share in the melodic material.
The composition is in three movements: A typical performance takes around 22 minutes.
