Easier Piano Pieces 56-Telemann composed three dozen Fantasias which were published in 1732. He deliberately set out to juxtapose the French and Italian styles with the first and third (published here) dozen having Italian titles and tempo markings and the second dozen French. the editorial aim of these albums has been to present a text that allows as stylish a rendering as possible bearing in mind that the majority of players will be pianists rather than harpsichordists. Marks of dynamics and of articulation have been added and so have harmony notes of inner parts which would have been improvised by the player in an 18th-century performance.

Telem ann for Two Volume I, Fantasias 1-6 arranged for Two FlutesWhat could be more delightful than playing Telemann duets, or playing the Telemann Fantasias? Sharon Sparrow and Jeffery Zook have created a remarkable set of duet adaptations of the Fantasias,sounding as if Telemann himself had composed them as two-part inventions. The original Telemann works are shared between the two players, mixed with counterpoint to enhance the authentic solo works. The result is equally suitable for formal recitals and recreational duet playing! The present publication includes two performance scores of their settings of Fantasias 1-6, with a Volume II to include Fantasias 7-12.____________________ __________________Text from the scanned back cover:SHARON SPARROW is Assistant Principal Flute of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Unfortunate ly, the original edition of the 12 Fantasias by Georg Philipp Telemann has survived only as a copy of poor quality. Therefore, Barthold Kuijken presents a transcription along with a critical appraisal of the musical text. His preface informs about the genesis of the work, discusses the scoring, and comments on stylistic and formal aspects.The former Musica-Rara edition of the 12 Fantasias has been revised by the editor and is now supplied with a better facsimile.
