Rameau - Allemande in A minor (orchestration)

Welcome all!

I've gone back to the Late Baroque with my latest orchestration.

I chose Rameau's Allemande in A minor, because I don't think it's been orchestrated before. (At least I can't find another orchestration.)

I made a controversial choice to soup up the tempo: so I'd be interested to know whether any of you have different opinions on this?

I had to write a short linking passage at Bar 37; otherwise the transition to the next section sounded too abrupt.

Haven't put in the repeat of the second half as yet. I wonder if you think I should? And if so, what instrumentation would you suggest.

Started putting in slurs; but haven't finished yet, because it's a long tedious job!

Hope you enjoy listening,

Alex
