Abstract

The fantasia which opens the recital is one of the Twelve Fantasias for transverse flute without continua written by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767). Telemann's combination of the French style galant with the learned style was described by Romain Rolland as having let in "currents of fresh air" to German instrumental music. Although he remained true to French affections, he looked upon harmony as the proper vehicle for heightened expression. His uncomplicated textures reveal his importance as a link between late Baroque and the new classical style. The Twelve Fantasias are a faithful reflection of this era. Spirited and lively while avoiding great technical demands, these fantasias were destined for the musical amateur or the instrumental student. However, authentic contemporary performance requires much study of historical style.
