Subj: Stamitz Concerto revisited
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 23:35:25 -0500

George Kidder and I have been comparing notes on the Stamitz Concerto we
are both studying, which *is* the #3 in Bb by Carl Stamitz (1745-1801).
We both have the Stanley Drucker edition by International Music.

Neither of us are sure of the following and would like opinions:

1) Short grace notes (with a slash) are indicated throughout most
of the piece, but a few are found without a slash, esp. in the 2nd
movement. As I understand music notation, this means long grace notes,
and in this context that would seem to render the grace note and the
principal note 2 8th notes. Is this correct? Is this the way it's
"normally" performed?

2) In this period, would you expect that the trills would start on
the upper note, or does it depend on context?

Does anyone know of a recording of this? Has anyone *made* a recording of
this?
