Hello Friends-
On this issue I do have something to contribute- a very specific
example from the alfabeto repertoire (along with some shameless
self-promotion!)
In preparation for my recording of Grandi's 3rd volume of arias from
1626, my teacher suggested the alternate fingering 20003, which I had
never used before, for a specific phrase where he felt a doubled third
was really necessary for the texture. I'm not sure that I make the most
of this opportunity in the promo video- I confess I can't hear the
difference as well when I'm only listening, but when I'm playing it
does give a clarity to the chord change that I also prefer. Now I also
use it in faster passages where the major third really needs to come
through strongly.

The score is on the screen very briefly at 1:55 (with the chord in
question on the downbeat of the final system), and the instance where
the alternate fingering was proposed is at 4:50 in the first verse,
with three verses to follow.
This has been a very interesting thread! Thanks to everyone for your
input.
Bud
