I'm not going to answer your question directly, but draw your attention
to the difference in aesthetic between Harmonic Direction and Harmonic
Proportion. And rather than elaborate here now, add that I have
pondered this long and hard and given the results of my ponderings w
Hello Richard
I have to bow to Matt's much greater academic knowledge on this one but
I still offer a lesser mortal's thoughts:

And, bowing to Anthony's greater experience of kirn suppers, this
lesser mortal's thoughts are pretty much the same as his about ending

Those who use them seem to think highly of them.
Aren't there a couple of LBPS books of such duets etc as well?
Hope this helps

Having done a lot of dancing and playing for dancing, allow me to
suggest that the decision might depend on whether or not there are a
bunch of sweaty people out there in front of you saying, "That didn't
sound like the end of the tune. Should I bow/curtsie? Or keep
dancing?" If t
