i own the paul edmund davies telemann sonatas that he edited and his recording - but that's solo.

well why don't you try searching on itunes and through google to find some then? generally there aren't that many recordings like this because the current trend is to try to have a historically informed interpretation, most people like to play with a harpsichord and make recordings with harpsichords...

the pianist can still take dynamic markings and phrasing from the harpsichord recordings. they (and you) should be trying to do this anyway if you want to try and be stylistically accurate for interpretation.

Hey! It took me about 2 years to change my embouchure. It was generally a frustrating experience!! Even now it takes me a bare minimum of 30 minutes of long notes and harmonics etc before I feel like I can actually control my embouchure. And also some days my tone is just rubbish and embarrassing, b...

You have to try them yourself. I have tried one a lot over the past few days actually (14k throughout, adler wings) and it's a beautiful head joint - but I don't know what a Lafin head joint with OUT the wings is like so I can't compare.

WILL you be performing with orchestra??

this sometimes happens to me when performing and i find that putting some talcum powder on my chin helps. not heaps. i use a make up brush to apply it and you can't even see it, it just helps for me.

I see, thanks very much! But why is this varied section an option to cut? Was this section unfinished before, or maybe lost somehow?

Hey everyone, I currently studying the JS Bach A major sonata and I'm really confused about a section towards the end of the 1st movement. In my edition (which is Henle Verlag) this section is in slightly smaller print, at the beginning of this section there is a sort of half [ bracket and it says "...
