URTEXT EDITION 
This “urtext” or “scholarly” (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in Germany and thus is public domain in its country of origin. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum ‘threshold of originality’ to qualify for copyright as an ‘adaptation’. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this can be found here.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Extra Information The work originally consisted of five movements, with an additional Minuet and Trio placed immediately after the first movement. Mozart's handwritten catalogue lists the work as Eine kleine Nacht Musik, bestehend in einem Allegro, Menuett und Trio. - Romance. Menuett und Trio, und Finale. The autograph, originally consisting of eight leaves, is missing folio 3, therefore suggesting that that leaf contained the missing movement. See NMA report and Alfred Einstein's "Mozart: His Character, His Work"...
