Handel - Sonata III in C Major for recorder and harpsichord

[notaire2]

The tempo is a little too brisk as a baroque piece.

[Rosky12]

first movement started too fast.

@Rosky12 When it comes to Baroque music, tempo markings were rarely used. Tempo, ornamentation among other things were left up to the performers, therefore statements like "first movement started to fast" are completely subjective and personal opinions.

@adamworth1979 im aware of the customs that were present back then. Did you want me to add "In my opinion" to that?

The first movement started too fastly, in my opinion. There you go :)

[adamworth1979]

@Rosky12 There you go. Much better.

very good but it could be a lot better. jus listening the orpheus100 version you get an idea.. and i think is a bit too fast the first movement. and anyway she plays very well too.
