Dan and his hints about his novel have gotten me to fantasizing about this
question: if somebody wanted to devote a chunk of his life to searching for
Mozart manuscripts, in hopes of finding the originals of K. 622 and/or K. 581,
what would this person need to know and where would s/he look? Perhaps just
familiarity with the pieces in question and with Mozart's manuscript style would
be enough to be able to spot something good. Are there libraries with piles of
old manuscripts waiting to be gone through, or is the only hope that it might be
in somebody's attic? Is it known where in Germany Stadler's portmanteau
containing the manuscripts was stolen or maybe pawned?
