Two Sonatas (F maj TWV 41:F4, A maj TWV 41:A6) (Violin & Basso continuo)

Telemann Two Sonatas (F maj TWV 41:F4, A maj TWV 41:A6) (Violin & Basso continuo)

First ever Urtext editions of these sonatas

Charming works of easy to moderate technical difficulty

Straight forward, clear continuo realizations

These two solo sonatas with basso continuo are taken from Telemann’s famous Essercizii musici; a collection of 24 sonatas including 12 solo sonatas and 12 trio sonatas.  These were moulded after Corelli’s Sonata da Chiesa and have four movements: slow-fast-slow-fast.  The sonatas long thought to stem from the late 1730s are now believed to have first been published by the composer in approx. 1729.  The main sources are the three part-books from the original edition of 1729.

This first ever Urtext edition, edited by the Bach and Telemann scholar Klaus Hofmann, is taken from the Telemann Musical Works.  The continuo realisations are by the editor.
