I'm working on this currently for a recital exam,(the Rascher transcription). I have heard a couple of saxophone versions but I'm really getting more out of listening to violin recordings especially this one by period specialist Andrew Manze

A lot of the phrasing, articulation, dynamics etc is very different from the Rascher ( and very effective in my unlearned opinion). If the Rascher edition is specified in the list of repertoire do you think it's ok to deviate from it? After all Baroque music was generally left up to the taste of the performer and I love the improvisational quality of the Andrew Manze recording. Is it true that Rascher's transcriptions are not highly regarded? I notice the 4th movement in the violin version has some additional sections- does anyone know why Rascher omitted these- because of range perhaps?
any opinions much appreciated
