Rosetti is known to have composed twenty works for wind ensembles of various combinations. Just over half are preserved in unique manuscript copies in the Wallerstein music collection. These pieces were designed specifically for Kraft Ernst's Harmonie and first heard in performances at Wallerstein. The remainder are preserved in manuscript part books in various other music collections. Although these pieces may also have been played at Wallerstein, they were composed with other venues in mind.

Unlike the symphony and concerto, Harmoniemusik was not a public type of music and individual compositions were unlikely to gain a wide circulation. Indeed, few of these works exist in multiple copies; only two of the Wallerstein partitas—the Wind Quintet in E-flat Major (B6) and the Partita in F Major (B19)—are found elsewhere. In both instances, the secondary source is an arrangement with a different instrumentation. The publication of wind band pieces was rare. Only two of Rosetti's partitas ever appeared in print. In 1789, Sieber released an edition of the Wind Quintet as the middle work in a set of Trois Quintetti. The instrumentation was adjusted to include flute or oboe, horn, violin, viola, and basso, and the piece transposed to F major. After the composer's death, his Partita in E-flat Major (B11) also appeared in a Parisian edition from Pleyel.

In his first years after leaving Prague, Rosetti was employed as “Compositore della Musica” to the regiment of the Russian Count Orlow.
