If you are speaking about the Barenreiter edition, that was the
editor of the volume who made up that Eingang. It's nice, but I
would not want to hear it twice. Every Eingange needs to be
different. The only general rule is that the Eingang ends on the
2nd or the 7th of the scale so that it can slip nicely into the
tonic, which is exactly what its function is; i.e., to get you to
the tonice on the first note after the Eingang. And the one who
plays it is the party who has the melody after the Eingang is
over.

Speaking of the eingang, there is an interesting one offered by I
forget whom in the Clarinet Concerto slow movement: the Bb
followed by
a low E and back to the tune.
