Sonata in D major for Violoncello & Basso continuo (TWV 41:D6)

Telemann Sonata in D major for Violoncello & Basso continuo (TWV 41:D6)
from "Der getreue Musikmeister"

"Der getreue Musikmeister" (The Faithful Music Master) occupies a special place in the history of musical publications, since, as far as has been hitherto established, it was the first musical periodical to appear regularly.  A "Lection" was published every two weeks in the form of a four-page leaflet presenting vocal and instrumental music in various combinations.  Today 25 such leaflets are available, bound as a volume with a preface and index.

The present Sonata is based on a copy preserved in the Municipal Library in Leipzig.  The new edition omits arbitrary alterations; only the notation has been adjusted to conform to modern usage.
