Craig,
Is there a really good reason that you feel the need to change the Mozart?
I have never heard of anyone changing it. There are places for improv but
622 is not, IMHO one of them. If by improv, you mean adding turns, etc, it
may be acceptable in spots but the piece has served many in the past with
no changes at all.You really could change the character of the piece.
