Summary of This Score
Beyond the great works of Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, this collection of 12 Fantasias by Georg Philipp Telemann stands as one of the most significant contributions to the solo flute repertoire in the first half of the 18th century. Published in 1727 (and possibly engraved by the composer himself), this cycle exerted a notable influence in the flute world and quickly gained a reputation as a model, both for idiomatic writing and for the musical richness achieved without accompaniment.
This edition is directly based on Telemann's print, providing reliable access to the musical text as it circulated at the time. The presence of a facsimile of the original source allows comparison between the modern score and its model, a valuable asset for refining interpretation, understanding certain notation details, and fostering an urtext approach.
To guide the performer's work, flutist and specialist Rachel Brown provides commentary dedicated to performance practice. These indications support a stylistically coherent interpretation by helping to illuminate typical issues of Baroque flute language: articulation, phrasing, breathing, ornamentation setup, and musical discourse construction. A particularly relevant choice for study, refinement, and performance, whether you play on a modern instrument or within a historically informed approach.
