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.
