I am glad that you came to the conclusion you came to about m.
111 in the fifth movement. It is not the case because I say so,
but because the manuscript in MOzart's hand says so, and for two
centuries while the manuscript was not available for
consultation, an incorrect interpretation of how to get to the
coda came into being.

And it is hell on earth to try and convince people who are used
to doing something one way to do it another way.

You owe me 6.7 pizzas.

Hi Dan,

That's just two weeks before our first performance of the
Partita. My vote
for which page of the manuscript to show is the page with m.111.
By the way, we rehearsed a few days ago and discussed m.111 and
even tried
it out with and without this bar (I know, we shouldn't but we
felt safe as
you weren't there;-)). But you'll be happy to hear our decision:
we are
leaving the measure out! However, we will be printing "Partitta"
as
"Partita". How many pizzas do we owe you?
Wishing you lots of success with your performance and lecture.
David
