Might there have been a moment, between plectrum picking and the full  
adoption of three finger technique, in which first thumb and index  
was used only; then thumb index and medium, only, before thumb index  
medium and ring were adopted; or would the passage have been directly  
from plectrum, to this last more complete technique?
