Peter -

Robert Levin wrote a 472 page book titled "Who Wrote the Mozart Four-Wind Concertante?" I don't own it (used copies sell for hundreds of dollars), but as I recall he thinks it's by Mozart, except that the solo parts were originally for flute, oboe, horn and bassoon. He's published and recorded an edition with that instrumentation. Current scholarly opinion is that it's not by Mozart. I'm of two minds. Sometimes it sounds like Mozart, but a lot of it doesn't. Still, it's a fine piece.

For an anti-Levin counterblast, see http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Symphonie-Concertante-297B-Concerto/product-reviews/B00000E2PD/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending.
