Description:
In addition to the Partita in A minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (HN457) and the Sonata in A minor by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel (HN555), it was above all Telemann's 12 fantasias that enriched the flute repertoire with solo literature in the first half of the 18th century. Telemann's cycle apparently had a great effect on the world of transverse flutists. The composer had his fantasies printed around 1727 (he may even have engraved the edition himself). Soon the work was considered exemplary and set a precedent. Our edition is based on Telemann's print, which we also include as a facsimile. A practical performance commentary by the transverse flute expert Rachel Brown completes the edition.
