    We could never clash, dear Michael.

    Mozart's whole Kochel catalogue needs revising in my view - a complete mess it is.

      What else can you expect from a guy whose first name is Ludwig!

        Yes, he really should have stuck to making drum kits...

          Something my daughter pointed out to me some weeks ago when we were watching a certain quartet (not string or piano) performing. The coincidences are alarming (if you are gullible enough).
          Anyway, we have derailed this thread too much. I'm off to bed!

                Is it?
                Symphonies 1-41 are not Köchel's numberings, but Breitkopf und Härtel's.
                But the new edition will number the fragments as: Fr-year- chronological number, thus KV626 = KV-Fr1791/02, e.g.

                The revision of the Kinsky-Halm (now nearing its completion) will be more radical, if I am informed correctly.

                  Xmas 1808! Arguably the greatest concert of all time took place on 22nd December in a freezing theatre. Audiences were treated to the 5th and 6th symphonies, the Fourth Piano concerto and a bit of light comic relief when Beethoven went wrong conducting the Choral Fantasia.

                        I think for the next round Philip will have to accept ingenuity over accuracy.
