11 measures before the end of te first movement of the bassoon concerto I
see a tonic 6/4 chord and a fermata, which seems to meet the requirements
for the insertion of the cadenza and yet you explicitly state there is no
cadenza requested in the bassoon concerto.

This is where my confusion exists. The same circumstances exist in the
flute concerti, which Rampal has composed a cadenzas for in his published
International editions. Rampal was hardly a historically informed performer
or editor, but I have proceeded under the assumption that it was acceptable
for him to provide cadenzas for the flute concerti because he did so at the
requisite tonic 6/4 chord and fermata.

I have advised people that there is no cadenza in K.622 but the majority of
Mozart's wind concertos contain cadenzas (excepting the horn concertos,
only 1 of the 4 has the requisite tonic 6/4 chord). I fear I may have been
giving out misinformation, since I see no ambiguity in your statement "In
the bassoon concerto, no cadenza is requested, and by that I mean
that the devices used to request one are not present."

Thanks,

-Adam
