Brycon,
"Although Mozart's manuscript stops at the end of the exposition, then, it makes complete sense to use the same articulations/phrasing here. So I don't really follow your argument."
Probably because it wasn't one; I don't see a good reason for doing them staccato the second time if one has slurred them the first. Taking something nuanced and making it more simple in the recap doesn't sound like a good thing to do. To admit a hideous transgression against all that's holy, though, the last time I worked on the piece I decided to slur to the first eighth in the bar with all of them, and use dynamics and phrasing to emphasize the "shift," with the shift starting out as an echo. To me, the shift is really about going somewhere the second time he didn't go the first--extending the phrase. And in the recap, he does the same thing at a larger level with the whole structure, also extending the half and two quarters motiv (which always reminds me of one of Leporello's lines from the second act of DG).
