There is another version posted by the user "bassbariton9" in which the teno...

  @olialto7 Thanks for clearing that up for me. I can understand why there would be such debate over Mozart's intentions, especially with other composers having access to the score(such as Eybler and Sussmayr) and with other scholars creating their own versions as you mentioned.The particular copy ...
