Description

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681 - 1767) placed significant emphasis on the genre of chamber music devoid of bass. Aimed at amateurs or students, these compositions serve as authentic representations of Baroque music, reflecting a genuine commitment to the art form whose impact remains palpable in contemporary times.

The 12 Fantasias for Violin without Bass, composed in 1735, exhibit a formal cyclic structure with a variety of themes. They incorporate elements from the sonata, concerto, and suite, skillfully juxtaposing these forms. The intricately developed part writing maximizes the expressive capabilities of the instrument.
