Selected Minuets (TWV 34) for Treble Recorder & Basso continuo

Telemann Selected Minuets (TWV 34) for Treble Recorder & Basso continuo

Georg Philipp Telemann`s music is as highly regarded by music lovers of today as it was in his own lifetime.  For Telemann very consciously conceived a large part of his works to satisfy the needs of home music making. This selection of minuets can be played on the violin, flute or viola da gamba, besides the recorder in C as melody instrument.  They are wonderfully varied miniatures which are charming and delightful to hear and yet easy to play.

Nos. 6, 8, and 10 are taken from the collection Sieben mal sieben und ein Menuett, Nos. 1-5, 7, 9, 11 and 12 from the collection Zweites sieben mal sieben und ein Menuett and No.13 from Tafelmusik.
