Composer's Artistic Vision
Telemann's musical language often has a human quality, daring to be simple in a way that pleased contemporary critics, leading to the question: 'is this baroque pop music?'
Composer Biography
Georg Philipp Telemann, the composer, wrote more music than Bach and Handel combined, demonstrating his amazing creative force.
Compositional Technique
Each of the six sonatas on this album follows the 'sonata da chiesa' pattern of four movements: slow-fast, slow-fast.
Composition History
Telemann himself engraved, printed, and distributed his compositions, including these sonatas, in various periodicals like "Der getreue Musikmeister."
Performer Biography
Clas Pehrsson, a self-taught recorder player, studied early music performance with notable figures like Ferdinand Conrad, Hans-Martin Linde, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
Composition History
Telemann dedicated these Sonatas Sans Basse to the flautists Georg Behrmann and P.D. Toennies.
Compositional Technique
Telemann's Sonatas Sans Basse achieve harmonic development with only two parts, a significant compositional challenge.
