No, the notes would be the same, you would just have to find the accompaniment in
the key of A if you do not already have it. I would think that you'd want to play
it on A. When I have had to play it on A verses Bb the transition hasn't been
that bad. Also, it may distinguish you from all the other people playing it on
Bb.

You may want to refer to our earlier discussion about using the Mozart at all
though. SO many people play it that it may be wise to choose something more
unique that can really make an impression.
