Fascinating!

I suspect I heard a performance of that c. 1955, unless there is another with the chalumeaux replaced by flutes (would that be Mozart's doing?). In those days it was billed as original Mozart. -- Ken Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.mooremusic.org.uk/ I reject emails > 100k automatically: warn me beforehand if you want to send one _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
