Details about Telemann : Fantaisies TWV 33 | Associated sheet music

These 36 Fantasies for the Harpsichord by Georg Philipp Telemann are grouped into three series of twelve.

They are very much representative of Telemann's introduction to Germany of the galant style from France, which is characterized by a lighter and less contrapuntal style of writing.

Furthermore, Telemann's Fantaisies TWV 33 are considered to be precursors of the Classical sonata form, thus preparing the way for Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in the eighteenth century.

A note about ornamentation :

As did many composers of the Baroque period, Telemann used the plus sign + to indicate where an ornament might be added, but always leaving the choice of the particular ornament to the performer.

As a rule of thumb, it is good to remember that mordents sound good on ascending notes, while trills work well on descending notes.

Also, cadential trills are required in Baroque music even if not indicated by the composer.
