Telemann Viola Concerto Complete Parts.Indd GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN Concerto for Viola & Strings Full Score Edited from the urtext by Alan Bonds PREFACE This edition was prepared from the original ms at Darmstadt University and later published by Bärenreiter Verlag (1955). It’s main purpose is to ornament the first movement in the manner of the period. This idea is based on Telemann’s six Method Sonatas for Violin or Flute. The original advertising material stated that “The Sonatas will be very useful to those that wish to apply themselves to cantabile ornamentation”. Telemann offers two versions of the cantabile movements (usually the first movement) - one unadorned, the other floridly ornamented in accordance with French and Italian taste. Interestingly, none of the ‘slow’ movements (usually the 3rd) has extra ornamentation. They are sometimes quite ornate and sometimes marked with words like semplice. By good chance, the B flat major Method Sonata 1st movement has the same time signature of 3/2 and marked Largo. It too has the same Chaconne-like phrasing commencing on the 2nd beat of the bar. Likewise, many of the half-notes are marked staccato in the ornamented version. Therefore it provides an excellent model for embellishments in the 1st movement of the Viola Concerto. My version is a fairly basic attempt. Players should try the B flat Sonata and then try out their own. But I am certain that the soloist would not have entered playing the same material as the orchestra. It would have been unthinkable to a baroque string player. It provided the ideal opportunity to show off their virtuosic skills of improvization and ornamentation. I am also sure that the staccato markings in the 1st movement indicate a dance-like lilt, perhaps derived from the Chaconne.

  • This Paper Is a Revised Version of My Article 'Towards A
    1 This paper is a revised version of my article ‘Towards a more consistent and more historical view of Bach’s Violoncello’, published in Chelys Vol. 32 (2004), p. 49. N.B. at the end of this document readers can download the music examples. Towar ds a different, possibly more historical view of Bach’s Violoncello Was Bach's Violoncello a small CGda Violoncello “played like a violin” (as Bach’s Weimar collegue Johann Gottfried Walther 1708 stated)? Lambert Smit N.B. In this paper 18 th ­century terms are in italics. Introduction Bias and acquired preferences sometimes cloud people’s views. Modern musicians’ fondness of their own instruments sometimes obstructs a clear view of the history of each single instrument. Some instrumentalists want to defend the territory of their own instrument or to enlarge 1 it. However, in the 18 th century specialization in one instrument, as is the custom today, was unknown. 2 Names of instruments in modern ‘Urtext’ editions can be misleading: in the Neue Bach Ausgabe the due Fiauti d’ Echo in Bach’s score of Concerto 4 .to (BWV 1049) are interpreted as ‘Flauto dolce’ (=recorder, Blockflöte, flûte à bec), whereas a Fiauto d’ Echo was actually a kind of double recorder, consisting of two recorders, one loud and one soft. (see internet and Bachs Orchestermusik by S. Rampe & D. Sackmann, p. 279­280). 1 The bassoon specialist Konrad Brandt, however, argues against the habit of introducing a bassoon in every movement in Bach’s church music where oboes are played (the theory ‘wo Oboen, da auch Fagott’) Bach­Jahrbuch '68.

  • The String Family
    The String Family When you look at a string instrument, the first thing you'll probably notice is that it's made of wood, so why is it called a string instrument? The bodies of the string instruments, which are hollow inside to allow sound to vibrate within them, are made of different kinds of wood, but the part of the instrument that makes the sound is the strings, which are made of nylon, steel or sometimes gut. The strings are played most often by drawing a bow across them. The handle of the bow is made of wood and the strings of the bow are actually horsehair from horses' tails! Sometimes the musicians will use their fingers to pluck the strings, and occasionally they will turn the bow upside down and play the strings with the wooden handle. The strings are the largest family of instruments in the orchestra and they come in four sizes: the violin, which is the smallest, viola, cello, and the biggest, the double bass, sometimes called the contrabass. (Bass is pronounced "base," as in "baseball.") The smaller instruments, the violin and viola, make higher-pitched sounds, while the larger cello and double bass produce low rich sounds. They are all similarly shaped, with curvy wooden bodies and wooden necks. The strings stretch over the body and neck and attach to small decorative heads, where they are tuned with small tuning pegs. The violin is the smallest instrument of the string family, and makes the highest sounds. There are more violins in the orchestra than any other instrument they are divided into two groups: first and second.

M. Music Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2009 Document Committee: Approved By James Pyne, Co-Advisor ______________________ Co-Advisor Lois Rosow, Co-Advisor ______________________ Paul Robinson Co-Advisor Copyright by Antoine Terrell Clark 2009 Abstract Late Baroque works for string instruments are presented in performing editions for clarinet and piano: Giuseppe Tartini, Sonata in G Minor for Violin, and Violoncello or Harpsichord, op.1, no. 10, “Didone abbandonata”; Georg Philipp Telemann, Sonata in G Minor for Violin and Harpsichord, Twv 41:g1, and Sonata in D Major for Solo Viola da Gamba, Twv 40:1; Marin Marais, Les Folies d’ Espagne from Pièces de viole , Book 2; and Johann Sebastian Bach, Violoncello Suite No.1, BWV 1007.
