Summary of This Score
Die Fantasie (Duration: 8') from the year 1715 was considered in the 18th century as one of the masterpieces of Baroque dance, to the extent that it was performed in London by Händel and his orchestra. This score offers a work with variable geometry, designed for a chamber orchestra but also playable as a trio sonata ("Petit Choeur"), since the inner voices are not present in the first printing. For fuller performances ("Grand Choeur"), the edition mainly relies on the Pisendel copy, which precisely transmits these middle parts, deemed essential especially for understanding articulation and instrumental language. The present quellenkritische edition brings together the facsimiles (first printing and Leclerc reprint) as well as the Pisendelabschrift, in addition to a new edition prepared by Stefan Fuchs, providing a solid foundation for rehearsal work as well as stage performance, from continuo to ensemble playing.
