Stuart,
I just had a look at that page and noticed the Menuet Angloise in
Pollet's Journal - it is an arrangement of Lovely Nancy by James
Oswald, also in Bremner's Instructions. The tune was taken up by the
British forces in America, being used somewhat ignominiously as a
Retreat. All other versions I've seen are in C Major. Does Pollet
mention any of this?
Rob MacKillop
I don't think so. Pollet (and Carpentier) quite often took guittar music
in C (or F) and transpose it to A (or D) and add some bass notes and
maybe some other little changes. There is never any acknowledgement.
I've written a bit about it here:

The cistre repertoire and the guittar repertoire are quite entangled.
The point I'm lumbering towards in my blog-thing is that the Russian
guitar repertoire (seems to me, anyway) to be fundamentally different.

For anyone who is interested I have added quite a bit more to my
sort-of-blog/website about some pieces in Foscarini. There are quite
a few new links and new illustrations and new material. It isn't
finished: there is yet more!
