If it's a new arrangement, the note that sounds out of harmony is almost certainly a typographical error. Even the best copyists and arrangers make mistakes like this. Your teacher will be happy to have you catch it.

The way to do it is to come up to the podium at a break and say "This note sounds funny. Should it be an E natural or an Eb?"

If you want to check yourself, go to a music library and look at K. 408 the new Mozart Edition. However, I don't think that's necessary. Don't make a big deal out of it. Just ask politely. You'll get credit, not criticism.

The longer you play and the better you get, the more things like this you'll catch. If you point them out in a polite, non-confrontational way, you create trust and admiration between yourself and your teacher. Go for it.

Best regards.
