Devised for the retirement celebration of Elke Szepanski, Mayor of Hatten from 2006 till 2014 having joined the “Potters Pairs” in 2013.
In the original form, the lead-change Fig8 for bars 1–8 was too tight in a crowded hall. After some discussion Martin McWilliam wrote to me on 2016–02–23 : “Hi Eric, We have made a decision : ) . The best is just to scrap the “lead change parallel”, so that 1M leads 1W all through the Fig8. Then it all works very well.” At Martin’s request both crib and diagram now show the “no lead change” Fig8.
