Concerto a 9 ex G for 2 Horns, 2 Oboes, 2 Violin, Viola and Basso continuo

Way became strange the detail "2" Corne de chasse corrects 4 into one in the title of the handwriting. Only 2 horn voices exist in the source on hand and 4 horns would not correspond any more to the title "Concerto a 9" either. Both horn voices were possibly doubled at a performance.
