Enough! Enough!

Firstly, the fragment of the Mozart concerto 621b shows only the first 199
bars of the first movement. (The original question was about articulation in
the 3rd movement.)

This manuscript is NOT located at Salzburg, but in Winterthur, Switzerland,
and has been since 1951.

There is an abundance of articulation markings, except in the extended
semiquaver passages. Articulation is integral to a Mozart melody - he wrote
it in as he went.

There is no need to offer to send people copies of this manuscript, it is
published in the NMA vol 14/4. Available at libraries everywhere.

Colin Lawson's new book "Mozart's clarinet concerto " recently appeared in
the Cambridge guide Handbooks series. The most comprehensive treatment of
the subject yet.

There is no mention of a Salzburg manuscript or copy or anything.....

Still curious,

Craig Hill
