Here are the bar numbers of where I use the basset notes in the Quintet.
Movement 1
Bars 99-102, played down a 6th starting on basset C (C# 101)
Bar 103, first quaver is down the octave
Bar 105, first quaver is down the octave
Bar 107, first quaver is down the octave
Bar 185, first quaver basset C
Bar 187, first two quavers basset C and Eb respectively
Bar 196, semi quavers of beat one as C,E,G,E the rest is down the octave until the end.
Two points to make about this movement is bar 41. Some players continue the scale downwards to low C, I don't. I prefer to play what is written. Bar 147. This could potenially be a G7 (written sounding E7) arpeggio descending to low B. The notes could be B,G,F,D,B,D,F,D basset B.
Movement 2
I play this as written, though scholarship suggests that a basset C might replace the written E in bars 18 and 68.
Movement 3
Minuet as written.
Trio II
Bar 116, replace the triplet figure with basset D and F quavers. This is in line with the following quaver patterns between bars 118-121.
Movement 4
Bar 19, second and third quavers, C and then basset C.
Bar 23, second quaver basset C.
Bar 29, second quaver basset C.
Bar 30, second quaver basset D.
Bar 40, third beat, basset C.
Bar 48, third beat, basset C.
Bar 56, second, third and forth beats down the octave.
Bar 64, second, third and forth beats down the octave.
Bar 65, first beat (i.e. semi quavers) down the octave.
Bar 68, first semi quaver as written the next seven semi quavers down the octave, beats three and four as written.
Bar 77, first beat (i.e. semi quavers) down the octave.
Bar 80, last semi quaver of beat two a G, beats three and four down the octave.
Bar 141, down the octave.
I hope that gives people a clear idea on the use of the basset notes in Mozart's Quintet.
