The Fantasias for flute without bass cater more to the amateur flutist than the virtuoso, offering everything desired in these compositions. Even though Telemann might have lost count of his compositions, the numerous flutists who have honed their skills and musical expression through these beautiful Fantasias will always remember them.

Description

The viola is often overlooked as a solo instrument, which is completely unjust. As early as 1738, Johann Philipp Eisel praised the viola as the "very bowels of music," stressing that it was essential not only for fleshing out the orchestral sound, but also as a "concert voice." This is evidenced by the concertos and concert overtures composed by the renowned Capell-Meister Telemann. Telemann's Concerto in G major is considered one of the earliest works for solo viola and orchestra, and it remains a core part of the repertoire for student musicians. In our Urtext piano reduction, the specialist Kai Köpp has provided valuable insights into the historical performance practice of this piece.
