I have transcribed these solos with the original baroque tempo and phrasing marks; they are very minimal and leave the performers a wide berth for interpretation. Baroque style allows for certain amount of improvisation from the soloist and I suggest you experiment with appoggiaturas, trills, suspensions, etc. Several places have been marked as suggested cadenzas. The third selection in this edition uses a version from one of Handels performance scores. The fourth selection omits the minor b-section of the solo and replaces it with a closing cadenza instead of repeating the a-section.
