The piece was written originally for natural horn but is most often performed on the modern instrument with valves. However, to broaden the potential market for the work, an arrangement of the sonata for cello was made, probably by Beethoven, for publication. It was then published as "Sonate pour le Forte-Piano avec un Cor ou Violoncelle."
