On second thought, I think Tony is correct about the length of the
fragment. Though the Barenreiter edition printed only 89 measure, Alan
Tyson discovered another sheet of this during his long years of
researching Mozart manuscripts. But what Alan discovered is no more
complete than the first 89 measures shown in the Barenreiter volume.

I would be very cautious about accepting Alan's suggestion concerning
the historical origin of the work. That is not where Alan's strenght
lay and is probably a guess on his part. (Just like someone's guess
that Stadler pawned his briefcase with the autographs of 622 and 581 in
it).
