For what it's worth, I MUCH prefer the Peters (except for the flutes, in which colla parte makes no sense because they do NOT move with the voice), because using the conventional fermata and being careful with its placement seems much clearer than the expanded one. In fact the expanded one simply looks like a weird slur in its widest form. OK, I'm old fashioned. It'd still be interesting to see Mozart's handwriting. John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.
