Ajoutée par kheidtmann, 02 Oct 2021 Two of the many works Telemann wrote specially for amateurs are the presented collections of 50 menuets each. The composer himself published them in 1728 resp. 1730 in Hamburg in a weekly installments of 7 menuets at a time (last week 8). Each collection progresses through all keys in alphabetical order, beginning with A major and minor in the first week and ending with G major and minor in the seventh. All these 50 resp. 100 menuets of TWV 34 were published in a score with a figured bass, and were intended to be performed either on a "Clavier" (i.e. a keyboard instrument) alone (solo) or on a melodic instrument with (basso) continuo (Bc) accompaniment. The realization of the figured bass is merely a suggestion as a basis for an improvised performance. The bass line may be played (along) on a cello, gamba, bassoon or bass recorder. |
