This divertimento appeared in 1801 as the second in a series of 3 pieces published by Breitkopf and Härtel. It was one of several works for wind band that Mozart's first biographer, Niemetschek, found in Prague. Köchel assigned it to the appendix of dubious works as Anh. 226, perhaps because no autograph score had survived. Since then, such authorities as Saint-Foix and Kinsky have accepted it as genuine, and in his third edition of Köchel's catalog (1937) Alfred Einstein identified it as one of the works Mozart wrote for the Munich Carnival in 1775 and numbered it K. 196e. However, the latest issue of Köchel has once again banished it to the appendix. For the present edition, phrasing and dynamic anomalies have been corrected and obvious errors corrected, additional phrasing marks have not been added. William Waterhouse, 1967
