Sequence of events incorrect
editMaking edits to rewrite the following: "It was once believed that Mozart left this piece unfinished,[2] because when Constanze Mozart sold the manuscript in 1799 to J. A. André, the concluding pages were missing." This scrambles the sequence of events to the point where they are rendered factually incorrect. As Alan Tyson's essay "The Rondo for Piano and Orchestra, K. 386" [1] makes clear (see p. 262), literally no one until 1980 knew the final pages of the autograph sold to André had been missing, so skillfully had Cipriani Potter crafted an ending to his piano solo arrangement of the piece.
Description section
editAlso, the "Description" section to me seems to need some help but I'm not sure of a consensus way of fixing it. To me, the source material (an allmusic.com review) is sketchy, but on top of this the paraphrase of said source is a bit lacking; it would almost be better to cite the source itself in a limited way with a direct quote. I think the section could use a rewrite.
