In 1988, Wolfgang Plath presented evidence that the composer of this piece, as well as K. 233/382d, was in fact Wenzel Trnka (1739–1791). That Mozart might not be the author of K. 229, K. 230, K. 231, K. 233, K. 234 was already mentioned in the Bärenreiter Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (NMA) in 1974. Mozart's widow Constanze Mozart submitted the modified canon to publisher Breitkopf & Härtel.
