Leclair, Jean-Marie (1697-1764) - Flute Chamber Works - modern vs. period instruments - the link below lists Leclair's violin works (divided by Opus numbers) - I own many of these as seen in the attachment. The 'flute works' are transciptions from the violin compositions (as explained in the AI PDF also attached) - will go on the the Butterfiled violin performances which are excellent.  Dave

Jean-Marie Leclair was a French Baroque violinist and composer. He is considered to have founded the French violin school. His brothers were also musicians. In 1758, after the break-up of his second marriage, Leclair purchased a small house in a dangerous Parisian neighbourhood in the northern part of Le Marais near the old Temple, where he was found stabbed to death on 23 October 1764.

Red Hot Suffolk Winter by Mita Higton

[Mister Sharpe]

Looking forward to listening to this because 1.) I really like Szymanowski, and I've yet to hear any of these songs; and 2.) The composer had an interesting take on his ability to grasp the poems he sets, feeling that while he lacked the intellectual ability to fully fathom them, he was able to do so "intuitively," "an attainable shortcut between the innermost experience and the mathematical exact formula of words." I think he rather exaggerated verbal logic (indeed the power of poetry comes as much from its ambiguity as its precision - think of Dickinson's "Tell the truth but tell it slant..." the better to set into bolder relief a world in which he felt more comfortable, of transcendent musical emotivity. Eager to hear the result of his thoughts on the matter.
