The 36 Fantasias for Keyboard

Influential compositions by prolific 18th-century master. Fantasias (published 17323) of particular interest, for along with polish, grace and fluidity, the beginnings of the sonata form are revealed in Telemann's technique of bringing together different motifs. Republication of edition published by Martin Breslauer, Berlin, 1923. Edited by Max Seiffert. Publisher's note.

According to Handel, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) could write an eight-part motet as easily as anyone else could write a letter. Telemann's witty and lighthearted fantasias combine a variety of motifs, marking the beginning of the sonata form.
