The Little Quartet for Four Horns op. 185 by Erkki Melartin was commissioned by the progenitor of Finnish horn playing, Holger Fransman (1909-1997). The Helsinki Music Institute's horn class received this three movement quartet from their principal for the spring concert in May 1936. A composition for four French horns was a rarity in 1930s Finland. The quartet was performed for decades as Holger Fransman's arrangement. This edition is based on the original version of the composer.
