Harold,

Come On!!!

How many times have you wanted to fulfill yourself by making such edits?

So play it once all the way, then say "Isn't that repetitive? Why don't
we cut..."

Then DO it!

Most pieces (as suggested on the last page in the latest Chamber Music
(America) magazine) are too long by some factor. This is just another
one...

You're not playing God, just music.
