Compo
sed by Telemann as a
double concerto for
recorder and transverse
flute, Zart
Dombourian-Eby’s new
edition is prepared for
piccolo, flute, and piano
— remaining compatible
with available orchestral
editions, and
respectfully faithful to
Telemann’s detailed
nuances. Cast in the
slow-fast, slow-fast
four-movement mold
typical of Baroque
concert works, the
CONCERTO IN E MINOR is at
once among the most
beautiful and
exhilarating works of
Telemann’s formidable
output.__________________

When I
was invited to perform a
Vivaldi piccolo concerto
in Italy a few years ago,
my host, Luisa Sello,
wrote that Carol Wincenc
was going to be on the
same concert, and was
there any piece that we
could play together? I
looked and asked around,
and my colleague Joanna
Bassett recommended the
Telemann Concerto in E
Minor for Traverso and
Recorder. I didn’t know
the piece, but as I
listened to a recording
of it, I immediately
loved it and could easily
envision how beautifully
it could work, with a few
“adjustments,” for
flute and piccolo. I got
to work, and the current
publication is the
result. I have performed
it many times, and enjoy
it even more every time.
It fits a unique place in
our repertoire, and works
equally well with piano
as with the string
orchestra
setting.According to
Steven D. Zohn,
pre-eminent Telemann
scholar, and author of
Music for a Mixed Taste:
Style, Genre, and Meaning
in Telemann’s
Instrumental Works, much
is unknown about the
concerto itself; it
likely dates from the
1720s, soon after
Telemann moved to
Hamburg. Only an
eighteenth-century
copyist’s set of parts
is extant, that of Johann
Samuel Endler, who was
engaged at the Darmstadt
court as a singer and
violinist, later becoming
Vice-Kapellmeister and
Kapellmeister, and who
had a large collection of
Telemann’s works.As in
my Vivaldi concertos
edition (Presser
414-41190), I have added
virtually all of the
articulations and
dynamics that appear
here, and have inserted
quite a bit of
ornamentation. Unlike the
Vivaldi edition, I have
not included any
indication of the
original Telemann in
those passages, nor have
I included any
pedagogical markings,
such as
fingerings.Finally, I
would like to
acknowledge, with
gratitude, Joanna
Bassett, Daniel Dorff,
Benton Gordon, Evan
Pengra-Sult, Sandra
Saathoff, Valerie
Shields, Carol Wincenc,
and Steven Zohn, for the
various roles they played
in the making of this
publication.— Zart
