Subj: Kegelstatt not neat; possible reason?
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 1994 16:08:39 -0400

Dan Leeson notes that the Kegelstatt m'script is less neat than most Mozart,
but does not know why. I offer this possible explanation only half in
jest.
Legend has it (as I recall) that the Kegelstatt trio was written for some of
Mozart's drinking-buddy musicians, at a tavern out in the country. Could
it have been written after quite a few beers? (If so, his creative ability
was not touched at all.)
Just a thought.
