Extra Information
|
*Mozart's manuscript is lost. The earliest set of mss parts (Salzburg, ca.1770) includes 2 clarini and 2 trumpets, with other contemporary sets designating the clarini (a term usually employed for high trumpets) as clarinet or oboe parts, with bassoons doubling the bass. Haslinger issued the first parts edition ca.1827; Breitkopf published a piano reduction in 1847.
