Telemann: 168 Keyboard Pieces, TWV 36:49: Pollonisse

 

This is obviously in A major, but I followed the notation in the manuscript, where the key signature is D major and every G has an accidental:

I'm not sure what the direction "bis" means.  It's the German word for "until," and since those two measures are markt off with a different kind of repeat sign, I assumed that the direction is something along the lines of "repeat these two measures for as many times as you want."  I repeated them just once.

Neil Diamond's "You Got to Me"

Recently, I listened to Neil Diamond for the first time in something like seven years and was surprised to discover that there's Clavinet in "You Got to Me."  I'm sure I heard it before but just didn't recognize it as Clavinet (for one thing, it's doubled with piano).  I figured out the part and notated it.  It's a recurring eight-measure phrase, although really it's just four measures repeated.  Note that it's played an octave lower than written.
