Compositional Technique
Telemann incorporated rustic techniques from street musicians, such as reinforcing melodies with bowed open strings or stopped chords, into several of his fantasias.
Composition History
Georg Philipp Telemann published his collections of twelve fantasias for solo flute, solo violin, and solo viola da gamba in Hamburg in 1735.
Instruments
The performer uses a violin by Sebastian Klotz from the 18th century for this recording.
Interpretation
The performer, Gunar Letzbor, prefers harmonic intonation for this recording but uses melodic intonation in specific musical situations to sharpen a musical affect.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Telemann was fascinated by the music-making of simple peasant folk he met during his travels through Poland and the Hanakia region of the Czech Republic.
Recording & Production
This recording was made in the Augustinian Room of the St. Florian monastery, chosen for its intimate character, similar to a bourgeois salon.
Compositional Technique
Telemann's 12 Fantasias for Solo Violin break with old baroque forms, taking freedom in almost all musical parameters to extremes.
