> Subj: Mozart's Concert Manuscript

A copy of this fragmentary autograph material is found in the appendix
of the Barenreiter edition of K. 622.

But because it is fragmentary and for basset horn (sorry Fernando,
there is confusion - the work that we are both referring to is
for basset horn NOT for basset clarinet) does not mean that the
material is unimportant.

What got lost (or sold or misplaced or whatever) was the concerto
for the basset clarinet which, today, in mostly played on the
clarinet. There is no autograph material for this work.
