Mozart: Bassoon Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 292 (196c)

Description

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? We will probably never know the answer because the autograph has gone missing.

Henle's edition allows different instrumentation as it contains a basso part (cello) as well as a fully realized bass for piano accompaniment.
