I have been playing (well, trying to play) A Fancie [No. 41 in My Ladye 
Nevells Booke] using the Dover reprint of Hilda Andrews's edition.

I would welcome comments on the following: Bar numbering includes 
inserted editorial bar lines shown by dots.

Bar 41 (top of page 240), third beat: I prefer an E major chord here (G# 
in the 'alto' part)

Bar 45: on the ascending scale I have been playing F# and B natural; on 
the descent I play B flat and F natural, leading to a D minor chord on 
the third beat.

Bar 52: following the initial D major chord, should not all the 
subsequent Fs be F# and not only the two editorial F#s on the fourth 
beat?

Bar 74 (the penultimate bar): I am not fully convinced by the editorial 
ficta suggestions. Suppose on the ascending scale (2nd beat) I play B 
flat and C natural, and then C# and B natural for the trill?

As I have no academic music education I would be glad to hear from any 
who have whether I am definitely wrong or might be right.

As I play this piece on the organ and harpsichord I am sending this 
e-mail to both lists.
