Telemann 12 Fantasias For Viola - Book 2
The second volume of Telemann’s 12 Fantasias takes the violist deeper into a repertoire where musical intelligence is just as important as technical command. Book 2 contains Fantasias Nos. 7–12, arranged for unaccompanied viola by Louise Rood, and continues Telemann’s remarkable exploration of melody, harmony, counterpoint, and contrasting Baroque character. With no accompaniment, the viola must carry the complete musical argument, making these works particularly valuable for players developing independence and a mature sense of musical structure.
For the serious violist, these six fantasias offer much more than technical practice. Each work requires careful attention to articulation, bow distribution, intonation, rhythmic character, implied harmony, and the shaping of independent musical voices. The variety of slow, lyrical writing and energetic passagework also encourages flexibility of tone and character. Suitable for intermediate to advanced players, 12 Fantasias – Book 2 is excellent repertoire for lessons, examinations, auditions, conservatory study, recitals, and focused unaccompanied practice.
