K522 appeared in the RW (91p262) as Comp W A Mozart, with the footnote
"On the composer's birthday in the bicentenary of his death". Although
it is double the musical possibilities are quite limited. Subsequently I
noticed that the variant with a 18 half lead was regular (this is only
possible for an irregular double method if the regular method has lh
group a). This (RW 92p36) had the footnote "To mark the bicentenary of
the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart". We had planned to attribute the
composition as "arr F X Süssmayr", but thought this inappropriate as it
had been especially commissioned from David Beard.
