RE: the correct writing of the basset clarinet part in the Mozart
Concerto, Jack Brymer's book* has a figure marked "Transcription of the
clarinet part of Mozart's K612b (sic, it should be K621b), in the
Ryshenberg-Stiftung, Winterthur. Originally in Mozart's hand." This
shows only 199 bars of the development of the first movement, and Brymer
notes that it was intended for a bassetto in G, although his source for
this claim is unstated.

Perhaps I missed this on the discussion, but would this not be a
definitive source for some of the bassett notes, directly in the case of
this page and by analogy elsewhere?
