Dan,
Alan's edition is published by Schott No. 11149 Copyright 1974. In
addition
to the Schott and Baerenreiter editions, there is also an edtion by
Universal
No. UE 19 086 copyright 1997 editied by Pamela Weston. It's very
different,
being based on the arrangement for piano and strings by CFG Schwenke
(contemp. of Mozart). I think we discussed it a year or so ago...

When I was preparing the piece for performance a while back, I also
found the
contemp. arrangement for viola (publ. by Andre) to be very interesting.
Further info thru Pamela L. Poulin and Robert Adelson (whom I
corresponded
with and who was very knowledgable and helpful!

As to the quintet, I have played it on the basset but with out much
help.
Robert Levin arranged a Bb fragment for (Bb) basset clarinet and string
quartet (which I have also played in Oxford and Freiburg). It's
published by
Nagels in Kassel. In the edtion, Mr. Levin announces his intention to
publish
an article in the Mozart-Jahrbuch of 1969.

Does that help?

Curious about your novel!

David
