You are referring to the draft of the basset horn concerto. Right?

A copy of it may be found in the appendix of the Barenreiter volume of =
K. 622. If you have a good quality university library where you live, =
go to the music library and ask for that volume.

The facsimile is about 12 or so pages long and is very readable.

But don't expect a complete orchestral work. It is a draft, not a =
completed composition.

Dan,

Is this autograph published? Also, were the orchestral parts in =
question used for performances in Mozart's lifetime? If so, they may =
represent his more final thoughts on the work, and thus ironically have =
more authority than a score.
