If anyone has Mertel's "Hortus musicalis novus," I would appreciate his
or her looking at Prelude 150, measure four. The measure consists of a
16th-note run on the first two courses and goes like this:
h k l k i h h i h l
l i l l i l
(I hope this show up o.k. There are only single notes, no double
stops.) The three chromatic descending notes "k i h" sound strange to
my ear, and though I have tried various "corrections," I haven't been
able to come up with anything I find convincing. I would be interested
in hearing others' opinions on whether this measure is correct as it
stands or whether it needs some emendation. Please feel free to reply
on- or off-list.
Many thanks,
Stephen Arndt
