"This work will bring me glory one day"/Telemann's Tafelmusik

Today's sight-reading session is dedicated to one of the icons of the high baroque era. Georg Philipp Telemann wrote his famous collection in 1733. More than 200 subscribers were found who were willing to pay the price in advance and whose name, social status, and address were published in the first edition. The illustrious list comprised crowned heads, noblewomen, and merchants as well as German and non-German musicians and composers – among others George Frideric Handel from London, Johann Georg Pisendel and Johann Joachim Quantz from Dresden and Michel Blavet from Paris.  Telemann, who was music director of Hamburg at the time of publication, wrote: Diß Werk wird hoffentlich mir einst zum Ruhm gedeien, Du aber wirst den Wehrt zu keiner Zeit bereuen ...     This work will hopefully bring me glory one day; but you will never have regrets about its value ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafelmusik_(Telemann) We are going to read the Quartet in d minor, TWV 43:d1 for two flutes, recorder (or bassoon) and continuo https://ks.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/4/4a/IMSLP89245-PMLP182882-Telemann_Quatuor_TWV43_d1.pdf from this collection with the help of two wonderful guests: Anat Nazarathy traverso, https://www.anatnazarathy.com/ Amir Tiroshi recorder https://www.facebook.com/amir.tiroshi founders of the "Ensemble Tsurà" "The name Tsurà comes from the hebrew language. It means “shape” or  “form”. This word represents for us our vision for the ensemble- with  new, curious eyes, to re-find a shape, a meaning that speaks to us today  in the music of the classics."  Check out their precious music: https://www.ensembletsura.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ensembletsura/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvH8ZIZdYXnhXadZSm52SGA The Telemann horn concerto that we are discussing in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_s_EO3n0z8 Today we are going to discuss: - the term Tafelmusik - the newest discovery in the flute world - 50 shades of articulation - double(triple?) cadenza? - is it even possible to sight-read?
