Hi Lawrence,
I read your original post but was reluctant to answer because I'm by
no means an expert on the subject, however, since no one else is
weighing in, I will say what I can.
Handel's music of that period is of a different nature than Telemann's
in regard to use of the horn. Take

Point well taken, although there's probably no woodwind quintet I'd like to
play (brass quintet either, for that matter). But do you happen to know where
