<<<I am sorry you are using that edition, but that is none of my business.
And it is particularly tragic because you will have no way of knowing that
there is an issue about getting to the coda in the fifth movement.>>>

No, I don't think that qualifies as "tragic." I had a colleague several
years ago who had cancer of the brain. Through chemotherapy and radiation,
doctors were able to kill the tumor; however, in the process, they also
killed much of his brain. So he lived for several years, and finally died
pretty much as a vegetable. He left two young children. I think that is a
tragedy. The question of which edition of a work is used in various
circumstances may be disappointing, or irritating to some others, but this
has no relationship to tragedy as I understand it.
