I have this book and the "Big Book" by the same author.
Is anyone aware of a key to the source of the etudes in this book?
I figured out the first one. It's labelled only "Largo" and "Vivaldi" which describes tons of possibilities. In fact, it is from the second movement of Vivaldi's Violin Concerto in E, RV 263. It took a ton of trial and error to figure this out, but now I can listen to how violinists ornament this excerpt.
Has someone figured out the rest of them? For example, the next few are "Allegro" by Bach, "Recitative" by Handel, and "Allegro" by anonymous. (I wouldn't even know where to start with that last one!) _________________ Yamaha YTR6345HGS Bb

Dr. Hickman is a member and posts fairly regularly so hopefully he'll respond. If not try sending him a PM (username trpt.hick). _________________ "After silence, that which best expresses the inexpressible, is music" - Aldous Huxley |

The OP's question makes an excellent point. Playing works by composers for other instruments can be an excellent exercise in development of one's musicality and education in performance practices.
But, you need to know what the source material is! For example,. the Gisondi book of studies 'Bach for the trumpet or cornet' (a Thilbaud favourite) cites the Bach work used. They are actually just transcriptions, but it helps a lot to get the feel of how it is phrased by a violinist, etc. when working on them. It also sometimes give rise to waves of despair!
