Dan, the tactics you recommend may produce a brief flurry of sales ---
similar to a Hollywood tell-all book that ultimately is meaningless.
But consider your own position as a Mozart scholar. You want
immortality, not 15 minutes of vapid notoriety. Try this on for size:

"Learn the secrets of forgery! This respected reference manual,
written by a man who knows, gives a complete recipe for forging $2
million music manscripts! It explains why music forging musical
manuscripts can be more rewarding than forging literature or paintings
or statues! This invaluable text includes carefully explained and easy
to understand sales strategies and methods of escaping prosecution as
well as tactics for dealing with your partners --- not to mention a
thorough consideration of the conditions under which forgery is not
necessarily unethical, and even contractual escape clauses that will
protect you in case of unexpected events."
