Hi,

I have the David Hickman edition of the Haydn concerto. It seems like a great, well laid-out edition. I'm having problems understanding just one little key point. Over many of the phrases/note combos in the piece, there are dashed slur marks that I recognize as phrase markings (from what I've seen). Are those to signify that Hickman suggest the notes be slurred, or that they should just be phrased together within the musical sentence? I've been playing them slurred, and I think they sound great like that--far better than if they were phrased together but still tongued.

Does anybody have any input on this? Thanks!
