You know David, you are right to hone in on the 7-6. It is, in a way, part of the signature of the piece: English on the outside, Italian in the middle. I should have given it more weight in the analysis. I'll have to play through the A and G versions a couple of times to see if there is an advantage there. I do use the first finger for the G in the G minor version, but learned it so long ago (40 years ack!) I should look again. I think if you hit it right it rings over on the harmonic, which is a bit of slight of hand, of course. I suspect whatever fingering you use will be the best so maybe I'll skip it and have another beer. dt
