Right at
the beginning of the
overture, Telemann comes
up with a surprising
idea. After the -'bare'
entry of the wind
section, the string tutti
do not join in the
playing until the third
bar. The 'harlequinade'
often appearing in
Telemann's overture
suites obtains its
attraction not least from
syncopes and from a
permanent change of tone
colour. The 'Espagniol'
whose title prom-ises a
bit of urbanity turns out
to be a saraband, the
'Bourree en Trompette'
justifies its name by the
tone repetitions typical
of trumpet music.In the
context of the whole, the
'Sommeille', a
harmonically unusual
movement in C minor, is
almost a piece across the
border. Even in this
gently rocking piece,
Telemann is not at a loss
for unobtrusive wit when
he lets the upper parts
die down shortly before
the end, only a single
bass tone represents the
last chord.
