Telemann for Two Volume I, Fantasias 1-6 arranged for Two FlutesWhat could be more delightful than playing Telemann duets, or playing the Telemann Fantasias? Sharon Sparrow and Jeffery Zook have created a remarkable set of duet adaptations of the Fantasias,sounding as if Telemann himself had composed them as two-part inventions. The original Telemann works are shared between the two players, mixed with counterpoint to enhance the authentic solo works. The result is equally suitable for formal recitals and recreational duet playing! The present publication includes two performance scores of their settings of Fantasias 1-6, with a Volume II to include Fantasias 7-12.______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:SHARON SPARROW is Assistant Principal Flute of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Schocker’s flute duets often are inspired by nature, and the composer’s love of gardening is reflected in a number of his works. LITTLE HELPERS refers to “nature’s little helpers,” those insects who help the plant kingdom thrive. The four movements of this 7-minute piece are titled Earthworms, Cicada Wasps, Cocooned, and Stingers.

What could be more delightful than playing Telemann's duets, or Telemann's Fantasias? Sharon Sparrow and Jeffery Zook have created a remarkable complete set of duet adaptations of the 12 Fantasias, so authentic that they sound as if they could have been composed as two-part inventions by Telemann himself. In these duets, Telemann's original works are shared between players, mixed with counterpoint to enhance the once-solo works. This publication is Volume II of II, and includes Fantasias 7-12; Volume I (Fantasias 1-6) is available separately.
