The work was soon considered to be exemplary and caught on.This Henle Urtext edition is based on Telemann’s print which has been reproduced as a facsimile in the edition. The Flute expert Rachel Brown has provided a commentary with details regarding performance practice.

Twelve Fantasias for Flute without Bass TWV 40:1-12-The Fantasias For Flute Without Bass address themselves less to the virtuoso than to the amateur flutist who will find everything he wishes in these pieces. Although Telemann himself may have lost track of his works the many flutists who have perfected their technique and musical interpretation with the help of these lovely Fantasias will never forget them. - Urtext of the Telemann Edition.

for Flute or Violin and Continuo-?Methodical? was how Telemann?s six sonatas were described when they were published in 1732 because they included a second ornamented version of the simple melody line of the solo instrument for the slow opening movements andfor the second movement of the c-minor sonata. This is music that is both instructive and also a delight to play and G. Henle Publishers can highly recommend it to the flautists and violinists of today. This lavishly appointednew edition has separate solo and bass continuo parts that contain the other part in each case for orientation purposes. There is also an additional part featuring only the figured bass line. This edition includes the score whichalso features a historically faithful realisation of the figured bass. The first volume of ?Methodical Sonatas? has already been published (HN 1266); this means that all twelve of Telemann?s sonatas are now available as HenleUrtext editions.
