Henle Urtext Edition edited by Henrik Wiese. Â Did Mozart intend this work to be a duo for two bass instruments, or as the simple basso-like manner of the second part suggests, a sonata for bassoon and keyboard instrument? Â We will probably never know the answer because the autograph is missing. Â This edition allows different instrumentation. Â It not only contains scores for the duo version but also one so it can be performed as a solo bassoon sonata, following the style of the time with a figured bass realization. Â And cellists, who are not blessed with many works by Mozart, will appreciate the version of this endearing work for cello and figured bass. Â Preface in Ger., Eng. and Fr. Â Comments in Ger. and Eng., p. 14-15. Â Score (15 p.) and parts.
