I checked the booklet and it would appear that Mark is correct, except that
there are 5 instruments.  The notes describe this as a serenade quartet
with cello which they say is the correct performance practice for this
work.

Hogwood's role is not clear.  He does not play any of the instruments,
though.  The additional minuet and trio is given the attribution of
Attwood/Hogwood on the track listing, but the notes tell us that it was
written by Mozart and his pupil Thomas Attwood.

Thanks to Mark for pointing out my error.
