Telemann’s recorder music
Telemann
George Philip Telemann is well known to recorder players, as he added so much wonderful music to their repertoire. Some claim that his music is simple, yet it is important to realize that having composed so much, some of his music was intended to be performed by amateurs, while other pieces are compositional masterpieces.
G.P. was born in Magdeburg in 1681.

is something completely different, with it’s very special first movement, Triste, in which the recorder laments over a bass line filled with chromaticism. An absolute jewel. The Recorder Sonata, C Major
Is a great piece – the first movement moves from an opening short adagio into a virtuosic allegro which requires high technical abilities from the player. You are welcome to listen to Drora Bruck’s performance of this movement here. The Recorder Sonata, D Minor
Is special in the entire recorder repertoire. It is constructed as a small opera, rec. aria, rec. aria – which a very strange first movement, where the recorder enters on the strongest dissonance, and is asked to play with dynamics, repeating notes in F, P, PP, which is most unusual at that time, and not to easy to produce on the recorder. There isn’t much Baroque repertoire for the soprano recorder, and the 6 partitas for soprano recorder and B.C. and the 6 partitas from the “Little Chamber Music” collection is a welcome addition.

are each a pearl. It is not easy to compose solo pieces for a melodic instruments which are both beautiful and interesting. GP excels in all aspects. The following are called concertos yet are composed for cembalo obbligato and recorder : Alto Recorder Concerto, D Minor

The Berlin Duos (25 pages w/ commentary)
are a nice addition to the recorder repertoire. These 4 late duos are semi classical in style, and grant a great challenge to the performers. Quartets: One of my favorite pieces is without a doubt : Quartet in D minor for two Flutes, Recorder (Bassoon, Violoncello), Violoncello and Basso continuo
Here, Telemann joins the flutes with a recorder to what ay seem as a recorder concerto. Wonderful music to listen to, great pleasure and satisfaction to perform. Quadro in G Minor – score with parts

Or this edition:
The F Major concerto for recorder and orchestra is again, a beautiful piece with a fantastically difficult 2nd movement which you can listen to here: Concerto for Treble Recorder, Strings and Basso continuo
This beautiful Double Concerto for Recorder and Flute in E minor
Is a very special piece. It is the only concerto for two such solo instruments, each showing it’s varied possibilities. The third movement here asks the strings to accompany the soloists in pizzicato, which creates a very special effect. The last movement, constructed as a rondo employs a somewhat simple dance tune with a lot of power. More pieces: Double Concerto for Two Recorders in B-flat (Hoffmann) – full score
