An old map of Telemann!

Something old, a map of sorts. Puzzling it out.

A ‘map’ of the Telemann Fantasies. Early 1990s, Bavaria

Stuck into the front cover of my Telemann 12 Fantasties, this early attempt to get to grips with the structure of the cycle, puzzled-out in my early 20s somewhere in Bavaria. The result was my first recording of the set-still available (which is something)-listen here: https://open.spotify.com/album/69F6RaEE5ZjjNm7E0ZuhzQ?si=1sSovmxYTwmlABOGhDouQg
Many years later, and another recording (on gut) Listen here:

-and these works, after hundreds of performances still fascinate and enchant. And this little map is proving useful again. First impressions can last! I will play 5 of them on Thursday. Follow the link, and maybe you’d like to come!
