Ever commercially astute\, Telemann often specified idiomatic alternative instrumentation for his works. Arranging Italian violin sonatas for recorder was almost a cottage industry\, and Bach’s recycling of his own music resulted in masterworks such as a solo violin movement becoming a full-scale cantata. Featuring the 1709 Barton harpsichord. ‘Pure delight’ (Scotsman). In support of the FoSCH bursary fund. \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here URL:https://www.stcecilias.ed.ac.uk/event/sounds-of-st-cecilias-v-the-art-of-the-arranger/ LOCATION:St Cecilia’s Hall\, 50 Niddry St\, Edinburgh\, Scotland\, EH1 1LL\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Concert ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.stcecilias.ed.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/b2d7ac11-879c-47c0-854c-bb81e6f05296.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250822T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250822T150000 DTSTAMP:20260414T201223 CREATED:20250717T120759Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250807T151612Z UID:5449-1755871200-1755874800@www.stcecilias.ed.ac.uk SUMMARY:Attila the Stockbroker's Early Music Show DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, the self-taught and self-proclaimed David Munrow of punk brings his Early Music Show to the beautiful surroundings of St Cecilia’s Hall for the fourth time.

Alongside Bach’s keyboard suites\, Khou has adapted for harpsichord some particularly touching pieces by Marais and Weis.
