I'm not sure what the current leadership of the Berlin Phil says
but I hope they agree. However, the party with whom I
communicated voiced a very much different opinion. Has the Berlin
Phil recorded the work??

Let me tell you what the footnote says on that page of the
performance parts and the conductor's score, both in German and
in English:

"Vi-de: Ein von Mozart nicht eindeutig geschriebenes
prima-volta-Zeichen über- und unterhalb T. 111 des Autographs
deutet darauf hin, daß dieser Takt möglicher-weise zu
überspringen ist."

This is followed by the English translation:

"Vi-de: The ambiguous prima volta symbol written by Mozart above
and below m. 111 indicates almost certainly that this measure is
to be omitted."

When I wrote that note, I was a little concerned that they might
not go for something as strong as that, but they put it down
exactly as I wrote it, though I sense that the German is not as
forceful as the English. And, of course, some very intelligent
people see that ambiguous prima volta as saying something else
entirely.
