OF TELEMANN According to , a composer should not write music Streamed Online mechanically, (“as if taking goods to the market”), but must discover the sound March 14 + 16, 2021 2,528th Concert possibilities of each instrument. Telemann went on to say that this will please the GBH’s Fraser Studio performer and composer; however, that pleasure extends to the listener as well. The works on today’s program show Telemann to be true to his word; moreover, the same can be said for the Violin Sonata in E Minor by his friend and violin vir- PROGRAM tuoso, Johann Georg Pisendel.

Violin Sonata in E Minor, JunP IV.1 Johann Georg Pisendel Violin Sonata in E Minor, JunP IV.1 Largo (1687-1755) Johann Georg Pisendel (1687-1755) Moderato Scherzando Known as the best German violinist of his day, Johann Pisendel’s early musical Susanna Ogata, violin training and career path emulated that of other early 18th-century musicians: Guy Fishman, cello by the age of ten, Pisendel was singing in a court chapel (Ansbach) and his Ian Watson, harpsichord musical talent soon emerged in other areas (violin). He studied violin with the Italian virtuoso , who was working at the Ansbach court. In 1709, Fantasia for Solo Violin in E-flat Major, TWV 40:20 Georg Philipp Pisendel met J.S. Bach in while on his way to , where he also met Dolce Telemann Telemann. Pisendel studied at the , but ultimately devoted his Allegro (1681-1767) time to mastering his instrument. His success in this was marked by numerous Largo performances and a job offer in , which he declined. Presto Aisslinn Nosky, violin In 1712, Pisendel accepted an offer with the prestigious court. (Telemann was offered and declined a position at the Dresden court a year earlier.) Initially Telemann Canonic Sonata No. 1 in G Major, TWV 40:118 hired as a violinist, Pisendel was named Konzertmeister (first violinist and leader Vivace of the orchestra) in 1730. He traveled extensively with the court, including a Adagio nine-month stay in where he met and befriended . One Allegro account of Vivaldi’s regard for the virtuoso explains that while out walking Emi Ferguson, flute Aisslinn Nosky, violin together Vivaldi suddenly guided Pisendel to his house because he noticed they were being followed. Vivaldi asked his friend if he had done anything to arouse Paris Quartet No. 1 in G Major, TWV 43:G1 Telemann the suspicion of the city authorities. When Pisendel said no, Vivaldi investigated Grave – Allegro – Grave - Allegro further and discovered that Pisendel happened to look similar to someone the Largo authorities were investigating. Presto Largo On all of his travels, Pisendel collected scores to take back to Dresden. From Allegro Vivaldi, he received the manuscripts and subsequent dedications for five sonatas Emi Ferguson, flute and six concertos. Other composers dedicated works to him as well, including Susanna Ogata, violin Telemann, who wrote a violin concerto for Pisendel when the composer was Guy Fishman, cello visiting Dresden in 1719. Although he wrote only a few pieces, Pisendel’s Ian Watson, harpsichord contemporaries regarded his compositions as highly as his playing; his solo violin sonata is believed to have influenced J.S. Bach’s own music for unaccompanied violin. This program is made possible in part by the generous support of Judith and Menno Verhave.

He also published poetry, including works on the CHRISTOPHER HOGWOOD HISTORICALLY INFORMED PERFORMANCE FELLOW deaths of J.S. Bach (1750) and Johann Pisendel (1755). His most prolific period of publication was from 1725-1740, when he issued some 43 first editions of his works, acting as his own engraver and agent for all but one of them. He ensured further control of his own publications by working directly with agents in major cities, such as London, Berlin, Leipzig, Amsterdam, and Dresden, where Pisendel may have been Telemann’s agent. Despite these efforts, Telemann’s music was still pirated.
