Matt, I don't know, but they should be, as it's a grand tune, of noble ancestry... Reavely's set is fine but a bit short for addicts of long variation sets. This may account for the lack of attention so far. Alan Douglass and I tried playing it dotless in the Calthorpe session last night, so

My vote is that such conversations continue in front of the whole group. If anyone is uninterested, it takes only a moment to click next. And there are a lot of lurkers out here who are silent but interested, and are grateful for being allowed to eavesdrop on informed discussions.
