Hi All,

I wanted to play Haendel HWV 363b : Allegro in my G6 exam. However, as far as I can tell, the suggested part and score by Baerenreiter only has a basso continuo line (one line of notes with accord numbers written underneath). My accompanist asked me to get a full score and suggested a public score from the music library. Are those allowed during an exam? There would not be any copyright issues here.

PS: And in the G5 score (due on December 3), there is a page turn where she would like a copied page. Is that allowed?

My Baerenreiter edition of Haendel comes in two volumes, one with the figured bass line beneath it and another book with the same sonatas, but with the figured bass realised into four-part harmony, so maybe your part is missing its keyboard volume?

I like the Paul Edmund-Davies editions of the Haendel Sonatas, which come with solo flute part without a bass line beneath it, and then a full keyboard part. These also come with an accompanying CD of flute and harpsichord and then harpsichord alone as a "minus one".

But if you can find a keyboard part to your sonata at the public library, then I can't imagine anyone would object, if it were an original and not a photocopy.

I have used whole page photocopies in both an accompaniment part and in a flute part for an exam without any problems.

Good luck on December 3rd!
