 Re: Mendelssohn #2 Concertpiece w Ricardo

What interests me is that you don't do the "poco ritard" in bar 39. I have always found this marking uncomfortable- and the none of the recordings I own of this work take any notice of it either. BUT I always end up performing this with colleagues who INSIST on performing these 7 bars at a "meno mosso" tempo I just never feel works musically, though I never want to upset the apple cart and argue about this. (I usually opt to play 2nd for this one, I don't think I've ever played the 1st part).
It seems to be an "authentic" marking rather than added later by an editor, is it considered "normal" to ignore this marking? (I am not criticising this fun little jam, just asking because I'm interesting in finding supporting evidence for my instinct!)

Incidentally, the pianist I've done this piece with most often has written out a piano version of the extra bars of intro in the orchestrated version. This makes the opening much more effective (just my opinion), but also much easier to perform.
