| Misc. Notes

Apparently the title, tempo and key signatures/clefs of the first system are still in the hand of Michael Haydn? Also says "Contrabasso" instead of cello.

Navigation etc.
Haydn's manuscript lacks the final pages of the last movement. The suggested completion here is by Rondeau DC al Fine.
Score p1-14 and parts.
