A diplomatic facsimile of this quintet is found on pp. 50-52 of
Barenreither's complete Mozart edition, in the volume dealing with
Quintets with winds, VIII/19 Abteilung 2. The fragment is only 89
measures long. The volume is one of the earliest of the complete Mozart
edition and dates from around 1957 when we did not know much about
basset clarinets. It also has the Barenreiter edition of K. 581 in it,
too. Looks silly today without any attempt to have the low notes edited
in it.
