URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.

The autograph manuscript of this rondo was sold by Mozart’s widow to the publisher André, who did not publish the work as the last page of the manuscript was missing. He therefore sold it to buyers in England, and it eventually came into the possession of Sterndale Bennett. In 1838 Cipriani Potter made an arrangement of the entire work for solo piano, which included an ending of his own devising.

The manuscript was eventually dismembered into many fragments, which have resurfaced from time to time: Alfred Einstein could only locate two leaves (bars 136–71) and had to rely on the reduction by Potter for the remainder; some time later by 1956 A. Hyatt King had discovered another three leaves in England, allowing Charles Mackerras and Paul Badura-Skoda to create a performing version in 1963 incorporating one further full leaf and another partial one that they uncovered, accounting for bars 1–78, 118–32, and 136–71. The Piano concertos, volume 8 in the New Mozart Edition (NMA V/15/8, published 1960) includes a facsimile of bars 155–61 (Vorspann, page XXXV) and a partial reconstruction utilising the arrangement by Potter (pp. 173–87).

Finally, Alan Tyson recovered four of the last seven leaves in a miscellany in the British Library. These had been missing since before 1799, and represent bars 225–69 (Potter’s arrangement diverges here and finishes after 252 bars).

The work is dated on the first page di Wolfgango Amadeo Mozart mpr / Vieña gli 19 d'Octobre 1782.

The following sections of the autograph are known:
f.1 (bars 1-22): sold by Sotheby's on 23 May 2017; whereabouts unknown.
f.2-3 (bars 23-62): owned by an unknown private collector in Germany.
f.4 (bars 63-78): Royal College of Surgeons, London.
f.5 (bars 79-100): whereabouts unknown.
f.6 (bars 101-115): two fragments, comprising the lower portion, are held by the Juilliard School in New York, and the University of Western Ontario.
f.7 (bars 116-135): one fragment, comprising the string parts of bars 116-119 and 133-35, is held by the Juilliard School in New York; another fragment, comprising the lower portion of bars 119-133, were sold by the Kenneth W. Rendall Gallery in New York in 1998, and its whereabouts are currently unknown.
