Misc. Notes Source, alternative formats, and notes:
From Al Goldstein's contribution page on Pandora Records. Ogg Vorbis files can be found here.
Instruments and tuning:
The flute used is a Murray system flute Al Goldstein had ordered from Tom Green. It was Tom's opus #002.
Recording notes by Al Goldstein:
Several people have asked me if there were any recordings of my flute playing. At one time I had many reels of that. However they were all cannibalized for other recording projects. However, I found a cassette. It was a partial copy of a test tape I made, which contained the Handel Fitzwilliam sonatas and the E minor sonatas of Handel and Bach.
Uploader's note:
The recording can probably be filtered manually to remove the higher frequency noise. If you would like me to do that, please send me a message on my talk page.

URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.
