The DWR Friday Baroque Interlude – Suite in C major for solo Cembalo, TWV 32:3 Telemann

While Telemann is, today, considered among the very greatest of Baroque composers, he was one of the last of the period to be reappraised by later generations, and his music had to be ‘rediscovered’, just as that of J.S. Bach and Vivaldi was. Despite this, he enjoyed a great deal of fame during his lifetime, and his long career resulted in a vast output. He was, in fact, one of the most prolific composers of any age, and travelled widely, assimilating different styles into his own compositions. This allowed him to produce music of such individuality and quality, with a noticeable sense of ease, that it must have astonished his colleagues and patrons, as it does us today.
The 36 Fantasias for harpsichord were published in 1732/3, and are divided into three groups of 12 – the second set is in the French style, while the outer sets are in the Italian style. Each fantasia closes with a da capo repeat of the first movement.

Well, we certainly don’t have to believe in the grand ooga-booga, but we can appreciate some of the by products of the holiday. Amazing music by Bach happens to be one of them.
Happy Easter Holiday my good friends, stay safe and be kind to another. :)
