Sonate (Solo)

Telemann's Sonata (solo) for traverse flute and basso continuo comes from his 'Tafelmusik' published in 1733, one of the most important instrumental cycles of the late Baroque period. The prominent themes of the Sonata, especially of the first and last movements, seem to have impressed G. Fr. Handel so much that he took them up in his Organ Concerto No. 15 in D minor. The edition strictly follows the first edition published by Telemann himself, which made it possible to correct several errors in 20^th-century editions.
