It is highly unlikely that you will hear anyone do the particular ornaments
that I used to illustrate what the player should keep in mind. But if you
want to hear an ornamented performance, listen to a recording by Neidich.
Alternatively, get a recording of Robert Levin playing any of the several
Mozart concerti he has recorded. And you should have a score in hand so
that you will see exactly where, when, and how he deviates from the
composer's text. He does it so gracefully, that you don't know that he is
improvising.
