Re: Baroque ornamentation

[David Fedoruk]

Some further information on this ornament. Groves Dictionary of Music
and Musicians lists it as "Double curve rising to note: Lower
appogiatura with slur -- Early 18th Century German including J.S.Bach"

and

"Double curve falling to note: upper appoggiatura with slur --- Early
18th Century German including J.S.Bach"

Groves illustrations leave much to be desired. They are hand scrawled!
However this page  has good illustrations off all these ornaments: <

Section 9-12 Has *good* illustrations of at least one of these
ornaments. It is the double curve that I am in need of.

cheers,
David
