Hello,

I am playing a grade 1 piece, a Handel gavotte. Should I slur connected quavers or play them detached? The score gives no indication of slurring.

Thanks,
Bonnanbuidhe

If this is your recorder piece don't slur them.

Thank you, that's another one I owe you. My natural inclination was to slur. What a great forum this is. I am teching myself because my fixed income does not leave me sufficient surplus to pay for lessons.

I tend to slur, but that's usually due to one too many bottles of wine...

Welcome to maledictis, another new member. It's good to see a few new faces around here. There's a thread in the cafe for new members, perhaps if you introduce yourself there you'll get a lot more welcome posts.

Thank you - I will attempt not to joke in inappropriate places

No, sorry! It was me who was off-topic! *grovel*

no need to grovel!

They should make the off topic smilie look less grumpy

Or have two. One to use when telling people off, and one to use when you're saying "we've veered wildly off topic but isn't that the fun of conversation"
