Navigation etc.

The finale for this concerto is believed to have provided the theme for Mozart's K.179/189c "12 variations on a Menuet by Fischer". Unfortunately few of the sources of the concerto specify which Fischer composed the work, leading Grove to provide a historically unlikely suggestion, for example.
