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.

Miklós Kocsár wrote this work in 1993, it was commissioned by the artists Bea Berényi and her husband Ákos Dratsay. It was given its premi?re at the end of that year at a concert of works by the composer. As the title indicates, the composer?s intention was to display the tone and colour potential of the two flutes. The overall form of the work is provided by the sequence of eight sharply contrasting movements of differing length. It is characterized by thematic correspondences, variations, formal arcs that gradually reach completion, different styles of playing, alternating slow and fast musical materials, free and fixed rhythms, as well as cantabile and virtuosic sections.
