Subj: [kl] Margaret on Sabine Meyer's performance of K. 581
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 08:35:43 -0400

If I fully understand what Margaret wrote about Meyer's
performance of K. 581, she actually inserted a cadenza where it
was not requested. Margaret wrote: "[In a performance of the last
movement of K. 581] after the Eingang, and its resolution, there
was a cadenza which modulated into a distant key."

I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve what Margaret wrote
about this matter. As such, this is a sad example of Meyer's
failure to understand the nature and purpose of a cadenza in an
18th century composition. It is real case of a square peg in a
round hole, and I'm amazed that such a gifted performer would
make such a significant error of form.
