I really like that you, even though playing on modern flute, play in Baroque style (not much vibrato, lighter sound), thereby mimicking what it would sound like on Baroque flute. A question, though: you quote from Quantz's book regarding not much embellishment in the French style, but what dictates that this piece is in the French style? Just asking for clarification, not criticizing.

@coguy5280 This Allemande implies French ornamentation since it was originally used as the first movement of a French Suite. On my Telemann DVD I say "From Telemann’s travels, there are influences and elements of Polish, French and Italian styles of music and they appear throughout the Fantasias in different combinations. I will address these influences in each study guide. Telemann was adept at changing his musical styles, often within one movement, from French to Italian." I hope this helps!
