Thanks, Dan, for the link to the Kegelstatt Trio manuscript.

I looked at the instrumentation specified at the beginning of each movement. For the second and third movements the keyboard part is specified as "cembalo". However, it looks like the keyboard part for the first movement was originally labeled "forte" and that the word "piano" was later written above it. Maybe the other way around. Why the difference between the keyboard names at the beginning of the three movements? Did Mozart use pianoforte and cembalo interchangeably?

Recently, I got a notice from the Library of Congress that on Feb 23 a concert will be given at the Coolidge Auditorium by Sabine Meyer/Trio di Clarone with Kalle Randalu, piano. I was surprised to find the following on the program: Mozart: Trio in E-flat Major, K. 498 ("Kegelstatt") for Clarinet, Basset Horn, and Piano.
