Belwin Concert String Orchestra. Baroque; Masterwork; Masterwork Arrangement. Score. 44 pages. Belwin Music #00-40498S. Published by Belwin Music (AP.40498S).

The Handel op. 6 concerti are absolute gems of the Baroque string orchestra literature. While the parts to these concerti are widely available from a number of sources, they contain no bowings or fingerings, and no phrasing indications. Many orchestra directors do not have the time to prepare the parts that are available for purchase or download with these markings, yet without thorough editing, it is extremely difficult to achieve a musically unified high-quality performance of these pieces. It is my hope that this edition will serve the needs of the string education community who are interested in performing these works. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
