Mozart’s sketches, creating the version most widely performed today.

|The small part Mozart made is the best part imho. Also, Sussmayr worked
|with Mozart while he was on his deathbed and we have no idea what they

|to. Eighter way it's a masterpiece that will still be played thousands
|of years after all us are gone.
