Sonatas and Pieces – for one Melodic Instrument (Violin, Flute, Oboe) and Basso continuo

The “lessons” publishes every two weeks in Telemann’s music periodical “Der getreue Meister” (The Faithful Music Master) are the first known examples of musical pieces in instalments. Telemann thus satisfied the needs of the music-loving public by constantly offering new pieces for different instrumental combinations for domestic music making. This book of Sonatas and other little pieces gives us a good idea of the variety that Telemann was aiming for his “Music Master”: next to a sonata conceived expressly for oboe, there are pieces that can be played on various melody instruments as well.
A collection that is guaranteed to delight many different instrumentalists.
