My three editions of the Trio are all spelled "Kegelstadt". I did an online
search of the word and found many German language sites that spell it that
way. "Cone-city" is a good translation, since the pins for this old game of
table bowling were somewhat cone shaped, not the hourglass shape of our
modern pins. Whether Mozart composed the trio between frames is a matter of
historical speculation, though.
