Sorry Mathias, but except the opddmistake here and there, I don't see anything strange about the 3rd course in this piece which I love and play regularly. It sure could be a transcription from the old tuning. When I have the time, I will try to transcribe it back to old tuning ;-) ! Just to see... The additional little prelude at the end is marked "ton arumay" (ton enrhumé = D minor tuning). Nothing strange here again...
