Intervals from Triosonata
I recently had the opportunity to study this beautiful piece, composed by Quantz for recorder, traverso and continuo (in C major, QV 2:Anh.3). I find it particularly suitable, as evocative as it is, to study intervals with varied phrasing and articulation, and it's real fun, and challenging, when you push the speed to a limit.

Recitative from Johannes Passion
While playing this recitative, try to maintain a flexible, speech-like sense of tempo, allowing the music to breathe naturally, focus on conveying the emotions and narrative through the music, understand the nuances of the words and phrases, and let them guide your interpretation. Also feel free to add variations in dynamics, articulation and ornaments to emphasize the meaning and emotion of the text. A quick note: I have inserted double slash signs as an indication of further suspensions of the phrases.
