First off, Happy New Year to you all.
Second, I've been watching a lecture by Christopher Hogwood on performance practice (HIP, both ancient and "modern") and arrangements.
In the lecture he plays an extract from some very nice Salomon arrangements of Haydn's symphonies (for flute, string quartet and piano) and goes on to talk about the importance of arrangements and adaptations at that time...
He makes a very interesting claim that an anonymous arrangement for viola of Mozart's famous clarinet concerto was quite possibly made by ... Beethoven.
This point is made at the 46'21" mark: https://youtu.be/GhPvarC3RRE?t=2781
