I haven't heard any of the Mozart woodwind concerti played on saxophone
either, but years ago I spent my two years as a draftee in the Army playing
in a 28-piece post band. One day I heard the familiar opening of the
Mozart bassoon concerto, *on trombone*. I casually asked, "what are you
playing". He said it was the Mozart trombone concerto and showed me the
music to prove it - it really was titled as the Mozart bassoon concerto!
