"For seventeen long measures at the start of K. 496, the piano alone unravels one of Mozart's most sinuous opening themes. It constantly seems to turn away from any conclusion. The second movement is one of Mozart's great slow movements, intricate, refined, and majestic. His genius for counterpoint blossoms throughout. The theme and six variations that constitute the Finale are in general a lighthearted relief after the intensity of the slow movement." Zaslaw and Cowdery, p. 281

"History has awarded the clarinet trio the nickname 'Kegelstatt' (which, loosely translated, means 'bowling alley'). According to a questionable tale, it was written during a game of skittles. ...
