Moreover, in direct support of Rochlitz's account, Mozart's first biographer, in collaboration with Mozart's wife, related a congruent description of how Mozart composed: Mozart wrote everything with a facility and rapidity, which perhaps at first sight could appear as carelessness or haste; and while writing he never came to the klavier.
Mozart appears in Hermann Hesse's novels Der Steppenwolf [3] and Die Morgenlandfahrt. In 1968, David Weiss published Sacred and profane: a novel of the life and times of Mozart, [4] a narrative account on the composer's life drawing heavily on the documented historical record, but with invented conversations and other details.

On the basis of Mozart's script, Plath assigns the piece to the time around 1783/84, "likely not long before the appearance of the first print."

Detail of portrait of Mozart by his brother-in-law Joseph Lange. The Mozart scholar Hermann Abert offered a warm appreciation of the work: it "is one of the most important keyboard rondos ever composed. With its exotically tinged theme, it is a typically Mozartian piece in A minor, its first four bars, with their characteristic chromaticisms ...
The manuscript is dated 5 January 1791. However, Alan Tyson's analysis of the paper on which Mozart composed the work indicated that Mozart used this paper between December 1788 and February 1789, which implies composition well before 1791. Simon Keefe has written that the composition of the work dates from 1788. [1]
