How the split was made was a subset of the larger (main) question of why was a split needed to begin with. Mr. Sacks answered the primary question but didn't pick up on the concern that some may have had about where the split was placed.Mr. Sacks' post spoke to several points made in the thread but not all. That would have been a tall order to fill in a single post.
But regarding where the split was placed, those of us who pause their players (for 5 minutes I think) for comtemplation after the first movement please raise your hand. Also, at live performances that I have attended or seen the pause has never been observed. It is probably rare that it is observed which is why I no longer raise the issue. My beef was that there was *any* split. But I do agree if a split *has* to be made why not make it after the first movement instead of the Andante Moderato which for me was absolutely the wrong place for a split.
