Some have the "senza repitizione" (w/o repeats) instruction written by the composer, some don't. The problem is when the performers or conductor decides to overrule the composer and omit the repeats in the da capo despite the absence of that instruction, thereby creating an inauthentic and therefore bogus performance. -Jocelyn Wang Culver Chamber Music Series
