The only online reference I can find to the autograph of the "trout"
quintet is a CD review which says that it's "lost". Can anyone confirm
this or supply more details? TIA.

Google offers a variety of confirmations, e.g.
http://marketsquareconcerts.blogspot.com/2009/07/fishing-for-trout-along-yellow-breeches.html
But there is probably a body of scholarship focussed on the
Deutsch catalogue, i.e. the main source in 1951 and any
subsequent sources of earlier dates. The score was
apparently first printed in 1829.

Thanks for that. I must have been having a bad google day, as I've today
found H P Clive's "Schubert and his world: a biographical dictionary" in
Google books, and the preface to the Henle edition of the work, which
confirm that the autograph (which was bought by Josef Czerny and used
for his 1829 first edition) is lost, but Stadler's copy is in the
Augustine Monastery of St. Florian. (So I guess there's little chance of
it being added to the online Schubert autograph archive. Sad) Apparently
Czerny's 1829 edition contains numerous inconsistencies both with itself
and with Stadler's copy. (The editors of the Henle edition makes no
mention of Czerny's piano duet arrangement, which he presumably made
with access to the autograph.)

The internet now hosts numerous scanned first editions, including much
of Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann etc, but no sign of the Trout quintet.
Perhaps one day one will turn up.
