Telemann, GP :: Tafelmusik I
Telemann, GP
If Telemann was regarded by his contemporaries as one of the greatest of all composers, his star, faced with the overwhelming presence of Bach and Handel, paled in the course of the 19th century to the verge of contempt. This assessment changed radically during the course of the last century. Through the systematic exploration of his music, Telemann, once considered purely an instrumental composer, has emerged into a highly cultivated, culturally well-connected and enormously versatile artistic personality who left an indelible mark on the musical life of his time. Again and again we discover an individual approach in his works that seems to abandon the musical conventions of his day, both large and small.
Georg Philipp Telemann s Tafelmusik (originally Musique de table) is one of the last, great examples of courtly table music. A collection of 18 chamber pieces for various ensembles - orchestral overtures, quartets, trio sonatas, and solo sonatas - arranged into 3 parts, it is perhaps Telemann's most celebrated collection. Barenreiter Urtext provides the three volumes of Tafelmusik in special linen-bound editions with reliable musical text based on all available sources, information on the genesis and history of the work, valuables notes on performance practice, and a critical commentary explaining all source discrepancies and editorial decisions.
