Hannah and Corn-husking

This is kind of what I was thinking of when discussing fidelity to the score. The right-hand fingerings in Hannah are either just plain wrong or what Buckley or Rice intended. We have to make a decision. At what point do they cross from being odd to just wrong? For what it's worth, I think they are just plain wrong :-)

Yeah...look at m4 of "Corn-husking Jig": completely whacko, rhythmically. Perhaps this is from the "If you have a sore forefinger" section?

LOL. I never thought of that, but it makes sense - an 'If you have a sore forefinger section'. There must be a few pieces in there.
