Twelve Fantasias - Telemann/Klages for unaccompanied BC Euphonium
In the baroque era the distinction between performers and composers
was not nearly as clear as it has since become. Telemann was
typical of most composers in that he was also a professional
performer--at a very high level, in fact--and most performers were
far better versed in composition and improvisation than their
twentieth-century counterparts. Accepting the invitation implicit
in the title, I like to think of Telemann's Fantasias as
written-down improvisations by a very quick-witted
composer/flutist, able to imply two-part counterpoint (not so
far-fetched, when we recall that Bach could improvise at the
keyboard in strict four-part counterpoint), and with a variety of
surprises in store for the attentive listener. - JK
