Yes. Some will disagree, but if you don't, it's just plain boring,
IMO. Listen to some recordings by baroque specialists, they will do
something. Some easy things to do are appoggiaturas, "filling in"
thirds, adding little melismas and turns, etc.
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot out there in terms of "rules" etc.
Even the "experts" can only take the handful of writings on the topic
and the few examples of contemporary ornamentation that survives n
notation and "extrapolate" some trends.
Good luck, and have fun! (Can't help you on the Telemann, I don't
think, but I'll look.)
