Interesting. We know from the review (in the Allgemeine Musikalische
Zeitung [sp?]) of the first published edition that there were numerous
alterations of the solo part. Or, at least that's what the reviewer says.

But since we have no score in Mozart's hand, how do we know that there
was no alteration to the orchestral score/parts? It makes sense, but
where is the proof?

Just curious.
