That should be a nice concert. I got the copy of Conte's Piccinini CD
to be reviewed in the LSA Quarterly and liked it so much that I bought
a copy so that I would not mind sending the reviewer his copy.

Most players that I'm aware of, play Piccinini's corrente a bit
quicker
(looking forward to Rosario Conte, playing in a forthcoming concert
in
Bremen), but I prefer it the way you did it. Not an informed
opinion, just
my individual choice. As a listener, I like to discover distinct
threads in
the music (provided they are there). I need time to do so. Your
performance
facilitates this. It comes close BTW to the way and tempo I imagine
French
courantes of that era should be played.
If you compare e.g. [1]http://youtu.be/4Y8ab5CkIAA (never mind the
wrong name
of the composer) you will hear what I mean. Hasty and sketchy to my
ears.
