Well, I did try it out, in my Spanish concerts, but -- guess what -- I
finally went back to what appears in NMA plus my FDFD on the final
crotchet of 299.

With the orchestra, I just miss that extreme change of register too
much, as a variant on the exposition, and couldn't get to like the other
enough.

In the end, the other may be a solution, but it's not Mozart's greatest
idea, is it? Especially the second time round.
