Oh boy, am I glad I didn't put a cadenza into an eingang place! It would
never have occurred to me because it would just seem completely out of place
but then, a few years back, it would never have occured to me to embellish
repeats. We *are* in danger of barking up wrong trees if we lack some
knowledge.

Dan, would you be willing to expand on the harmonic differences in setting up
an eingang as opposed to a cadenza? And how you get in and out of it? I
wonder if I'm noticing what you are telling about or if there is something
I've overlooked. Or can you recommend any reading on this subject. Would be
grateful.
