Say, I was thinking in a rehearsal yesterday, if it's ok to eliminate
repeats in a Beethoven symphony, would it be ok to add a repeat in a Mozart
trio? We're working on the K.  542, E major.  I find every bar, every note,
breathtakingly beautiful.  Listen to the three-bar canon segment in the
strings in the middle of the slow movement.

Sadly, the recapitulation of the first movement lacks a repeat sign.  I'd
sort of like to repeat it.  Could this be a printers' error? Are we sure
that Mozart intended the section to be unrepeated? After all, everybody
repeated the recap in those days, why should he go to the trouble of
writing it out?  Just wondering,
