Telemann: 168 Keyboard Pieces, TWV 36:26: Menuet: Last mich gehen ihr nichtigen Sorgen

 

Initially, I skipt this one because I didn't understand a section of the notation, but in looking at a different Telemann score (I think it was the two menuets from TWV 55:C1) and comparing it to a modernized version, I realized what it means.  At the end of the A section, the note in the right hand is the same both times, but the notes in the left hand are different.  Telemann writes out the different notes, but he doesn't bother with the one that's the same, and I hadn't understood the blank measure.

The Zombies' "I'll Keep Trying"

 

I'm not sure this was really worth doing because it's so short, but here's the Hohner Pianet solo in the Zombies' "I'll Keep Trying."  The guitar plays basically the same thing, just an octave higher and articulated slightly differently (there are some glissandi between the notes, and the C in the third measure is held longer).  For a bit of context, I also included the bass part.

Argent on Set of 6

Recently, Argent's appearance on Set of 6 was uploaded to the Zombies Fan Club YouTube channel.  The date given is 29 May 1972, but in Jim Rodford: Sideman, Rodford (the bass player) writes, "In April, we recorded a special for Granada TV called A Set of 6" (p. 177).  Maybe 29 May was the broadcast date.  In any case, Rod Argent is playing a Pianet N, the newer of the two models he had (see my detailed post on his Pianets here).  He uses it for most of the songs, namely "Liar" (with what seems to be some kind of phasing effect), "Rejoice," "Sweet Mary," and "Keep on Rollin'."  Aside from "Liar," none of the studio versions of these songs features Pianet.

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.
