Well, yes and no...

He was very free with musical texts - he would add ornaments, cadenzas, insert movements of other works etc.

But when it came to writing articles or liner notes Klöcker was a bit more circumspect. You have to read it in the original German, and in unedited form if possible. Often he left clue somewhere, almost a challenge to other researchers. The whole "Mozart Quartet" thing is largely a beat up, which has unfortunately stuck. Even there he gave a clue, listing Goepfert first among prominent Mozart arrangers, before even Hoffmeister and Pleyel.

Of course the Haydn Clarinet Concerto affair was a complete debacle, even Sonja Gerlach from the Haydn Institute wrote a refutation. But that is just one project from perhaps hundreds.
