What tempo should I play Kopprasch Etude 2 at?

The printed tempo is a word, “Moderato”, not a number. Start around ♩ = 72, practise at 96 and aim for about 120 quarter notes a minute. The player takes any tempo between those and more.

Is this in written or concert pitch?

Written pitch, as printed for F horn. The player plays it at the pitch it sounds, a fifth lower than written.

Where can I get the sheet music for Kopprasch Etude 2 (Op. 6 No. 2)?

It is public domain. The notes here come from J. G. Seeling, Dresden, 1886 (50 Etudes, rev. Oscar Franz), which is scanned on IMSLP. Keep the printed page in front of you for slurs and dynamics, which the player leaves out.

Count in half notes. Loop two bars at a time and aim for an even sound from the lowest note to the highest.

The page prints the tempo as a word, “Moderato”. The numbers below are my suggestions for getting there, in quarter notes per minute; tap them in the player.
