Emerson, Lake, & Palmer's Clavinet L

A few years ago, I found a video of Emerson, Lake, & Palmer performing "Take a Pebble" live on German television.  Near the end of the performance, Emerson plays a Clavinet L:

The studio recording of "Take a Pebble" doesn't feature Clavinet, however.

I don't have all of the ELP albums, but of the ones I do have, the only songs that include Clavinet are "Tank" on Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and various live recordings of "Nutrocker."  Here's a video of "Nutrocker" performed live in Switzerland in 1970:

Telemann: 168 Keyboard Pieces, TWV 36:6: Menuet: Was ich liebe lieb' ich treu

 

Initially, I wasn't going to do the notation for this piece because it's a longer one, but I like the tune, so I decided to do it anyway.  I'm glad I did because it made me realize that I'd played a couple notes wrong in my original recording.  I re-recorded the piece to fix them.

Telemann: 168 Keyboard Pieces, TWV 36:5: Amor Cupido mein Freund

 

I'm a bit unsure about one measure in the manuscript.  The piece is in 3/4, but one measure has what looks like five eighth notes.  I played (and notated) the last note as a quarter note to account for the other half beat.
