Subj: RE: Mozart's Concert Manuscript
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 14:14:49 -0400

Greetings,

In regards to the fragment manuscript of the basset horn sketch of the
Concerto by Mozart (known as K. 621b), it was my understanding that it was
in a library in Winterthur, Switzerland and not in Salzburg. If anyone
knows, I would appreciate being corrected. BTW, has anyone actually seen
it or touched it? Does one have to get special permission? Just curious.

Best regards,
Keith Koons
