Siciliano and Allegro by Telemann arr. Stephen Chin
Georg Philipp Telemann was an extraordinarily gifted composer whose musical output was nothing short of astounding. His vast repertoire boasts an impressive array of works, including 1043 cantatas, 46 passions, 40 operas, over 100 concertos, 700 orchestral suites, and volumes of chamber music. The two pieces presented here are taken from his violin sonatas, which are excellent examples of the Baroque period's contrasting styles. The Siciliano is a slow, mournful piece with long, flowing lines that evoke a sense of melancholy. In contrast, the Allegro is a lively and energetic composition that showcases the skilful use of string crossings. This musical set is an excellent resource for musicians seeking to develop their phrasing and articulation in the Baroque style.
