Tom -

Yes, the music is the Handel Sonata for Recorder in E minor. See
<http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/4/4d/IMSLP05632-Handel_19_Sonatas_For_Various_Instruments.pdf>.

Kathie -

Handel expected extensive ornamentation, particularly in slow
movements. What's on the page is only the skeleton. As it happens,
the first movement of the E minor sonata is already ornamented to a
moderate degree in Handel's published version, but any player in
Handel's time would have added more. Sometimes, practically an entire
movement has to be ornamentation. See for example the adagio on p, 11
of the INSLP link.

Telemann wrote 12 Methodical Sonatas, in which the first movement was
given in skeletal and ornamented versions. See for example
<http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/telemann/MethodischeSonaten/methodische-C.pdf>.

Please look also at the Barsanti sonata at
<http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/barsanti/fbrecc.pdf>. The
un-ornamented notes for the first two phrases are G-C-A-B-C /
E-D-E-F-G-E-C.

Finally, I just have to say that while your YouTube postings are
usually pretty good, this one is not. In your place, I would not put
early practice sessions on public display, where you're struggling
with the instrument and fiddling with the tuner and metronome. If you
want to be taken seriously as an aspiring professional player, you
need to present yourself professionally. At the very least, you
should not advertise it on the Klarinet forum.
