This is a second try at finding an answer to a small mystery so if anyone
ignored it the first time, I'd appreciate you taking a stab at it this
time. A few years ago I remember reading (although it may have been
a conversation) that a musicologist did some research on the Mozart
Kegelstaat
Trio and found that, as he had suspected, it was mis-named. He
supposedly found that the opus # (pre-Kochel) had been mixed up with a
little piece of fluff which was the original Kegelstaat piece. His thesis
was that the Trio was far too serious a work to have been written at a
bowling green. So he looked and found evidence of a mix-up. Does anyone
else remember anything about such an article or this kind of research? Is
it from a dissertation? Hey John Cohler and Dan Leeson...know anything
about this?
