No revisions since 1964 though the 7th and 8th editions exist. However
they are unchanged republications of the 6th edition. A new edition, to
be made available in both German and English (separate volumes) is being
worked on and may be available by the 250th commemoration date for the
quarter millenium of Mozart's birth in 2006, I should live so long.

So far I've been through 3 commemorations having to do with Mozart: the
1941 commemoration of 150 years since his death, but that was a small
one because of the war; the 1956 commemoration of 200 years since his
birth, and the 1991 200th commemorative of his death. That's not bad
for a short Austrian piano player who also bowled on occasion.
