12 Fantasies for Violin Solo TWV 40:14-25

Telemann's Fantasias for Solo Violon and his Fantasias for Solo Flute constitute a varied collection of twelve pieces, half of which follow the model of the 'sonata da chiesa' and the other half the model of the 'sonata da camara'. In these pieces Telemann presents an abundance of different stylistic elements and features of his time which make this collection an extensive compendium of late Baroque violin music.

Grave and Allegro (3rd and 2nd movts from Fantasia No.1 in Bb, TWV 49:14) by Telemann, is on the ABRSM Bowed Strings Syllabus 2020-2023 as one of the alternative pieces from List A for Grade 7 Violin.
