... which was in fact intended by Mozart not for tenor sax at all, but rather for a Db-melody contralto sax with a top G# key. When it is eventually found, generations of pedants will have nothing better to write about than how awful it is to play it on a tenor and/or transpose a few notes down an octave. As if Wolfie would have cared.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

I found that Db-melody contralto sax with a top G# key...It was in my garage and I've been mistakenly using it as my lawnmower!

"They confirm that he was a student of the organist Georg Boehm in the north German city of Lueneburg. "
The later Boehm generations perfected the flux capacitor, revisted Georg and JBS, and brought back the impetus to create a a full sax-clar-flute section, something Bach wanted for the Muhler and Guttman orchestras of his day.
This proves that JBS did indeed have connections with modern woodwinds.
