Georg Philipp Telemann

12 Fantasias for solo flute Georg Philipp Telemann

Georg Philipp Telemann's 12 fantaisies à traversière sans basse (12 Fantasias for solo flute without bass), TWV 40:2-13, was published in Hamburg in 1732-33. The current edition is an urtext edition, which aims to remain as close as possible to the first edition. The collection progresses by key, from A major to G minor, with the keys being avoided that were impractical on a Baroque one-key flute, i.e. B major, C minor, F minor and F-sharp major. A facsimile of the 1732 first edition is included from page 28 onwards.
