Since it’s a relatively simple piece to begin with, I’m curious what sort of ornamentation could be added – especially since it isn’t written in A B A form.

Also, as long as the harpsichordist (if available) can have the full score as well, he/she should be able to create it on the spot.

This is a great initiative ! I’ am also looking for a simple piano reduction for ‘Gelido in ogni vena’ from Siroe…

Thx much !

Because it’s a continuo aria, basically no two accompanists would agree on a realization. I’m curious how this would best be approached. I don’t think I’ve ever been satisfied with a printed realization, so I keep mine extremely simple. I guess this could be done for “Cara speme” as well.

And yeah, I hadn’t even started to considered doing transposed versions of all of these. Hmmm….. you’ve got me thinking, Maggie. Email me directly if you’d like to discuss it more in detail! Or just leave more comments.

For concert performance, continuo player may read from the score. If they are not experienced in writing/realizing Handelian figured bass, the piano reduction can be used as an easy reference.

There seem to be a few glaring misprints in Chrysander’s edition of “Stille amare” — working on it now. That’s great you’re performing it, what an amazing scene.

So glad you are doing it. I’m just about to perform Stille amare. When you print orchestra parts, will you include pre-realized continuo parts, or figured bass, or both?

Looking forward to purchasing your work! And hello to Glendower!
