Annable’s London Surprise Minor is given as ‘London Surprize’
in Annable’s notebook. It is highly likely that this is the
origin of the method, as it has an ‘A’ next to it - many of
the Minor methods are annotated in the notebook with initials
of the composer or source (it is assumed likely that A =
Annable, and the others can be inferred to be D = Doleman, L =
Laughton, S = Stedman).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst there is no direct evidence in the
notebook itself, I think it is certain that Annable was aware
of how to get an extent of it for a couple of reasons. He was
evidently aware of Stedman’s Campanalogia (1677) and Doleman
and CM’s Campanalogia Improved (1702), and the basic extent of
Minor was established in these publications. Annable’s
notebook is likely to date around the region of 1730-1750 so
these publications had been around for some time. Secondly, he
evidently had an awareness of truth of extents of Minor as his
notebook includes many non-palindromic plain Minor methods,
and these are often annotated with ‘false’ or ‘false peal’, so
it seems at some point Annable became aware that the ordinary
WHW or IOI based extent did not work for this type of method.<o:p></o:p></p>
