They are widely prevalent in various scorings. Originally, the works were written for 3 basset horns (2 basset horns or 2 clarinets and bassoon) - early printings shortly after Mozart's death were used as sources. The present arrangement and setting by the composer and conductor Paul Klengel not only opens up a different instrumental genre for the pieces. with the choice of 2 violins and viola - i.e. a "high" string trio scoring - there is also a change of register that decisively alters the sound character.
