It's also missing some parts which are clearly present in the score (which I happen to have at hand as I recorded that symphony some months ago).

I'd say that even the worst 1% of what Mozart produced has some orders of magnitude more subtlety, musicality, humanity and beauty in it than 99% of the output of who wrote that nonsense. My <preferred deity>, if this the level of conversation on this list, I wonder what I'm doing here. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
