The University Library Lund in Sweden keeps the most extensive source for horn music from the first half of the 18th century. The music is a handwritten collection of the Academic chapel. Many of the composers therein had somehow connections to the court in Dresden. It is possible that the copier was a hornist who visited Dresden.
This collection Wenster contains 18 concertos for horn - and not 17 how it is always said.

No.1 Concerto ex D sharp del Sign. Schultz
for Cornu concertato, Flauto traversiere, Violino obligato and Basso
This concerto is much virtuous in the height. The highest tone is the sounding tone a flat. Thus it is however not singular to call but rather " normally " for its time. As special feature is the application of a flute together with the horn. This instrumentation is quite rare, still to find with Telemann or in the chamber music of Amon.
Who Mr. Schultz was is not certain. A composer of the court of Dresden or in Saxony is however very probable. For this, Heinrich Schultz would be applicable. He was named in the Dresdenischer Hof- und Staatskalender ( Court and State calendar of Dresden) in the year 1729 as a musician of the Polish chapel. The library in Dresden keeps from a Schultz three Concerti for violin.
