Discussions and Research:
Articulation

• "I tried to finesse a lot of the notes in different ways but I tried for an overarching bouncy, half-legato half-detached sort of style.  I tried to play the bass notes longer/louder, thought about small intervals being more legato and more separated on bigger intervals." - Francesco Camuglia
• "So many things to think about - do you stay with a modern articulation for a modern flute - do you modify your articulation on modern flute to be "more baroque" and think about "ti ri" and less "ta ka" or "te ke" or even "tu ku" - and do you change the length of the articulation mid phrase for variety? Do you observe early music performance practice and use slurs with step wise patterns and articulate anything that's not?"  - Nick Fitton
• "Slurs = espressivo, and as a rule of thumb always means a diminuendo in baroque music, thus perfect for appoggiaturas." - Eirik Hoel Sandvik
• "The articulation should function to emphasize things like points of tension like appoggiatura or suspension or cadence points." - Troy Paolantonio
