Telemann: "Ondeggiando" (flute & piano).

   • willie-whistleblower   The fourth movement "Ondeggiando, ma non adagio" from the C minor Sonata in Teleman's 'Methodischen Sonaten" composed in 1732 for flute and harpsichord, played here with piano accompaniment. ('Ondeggiando' = undulating; with a swaying feeling). With roughly 4000 compositions to his name and his great originality, Telemann appealed more to contemporary taste than did either J S Bach or G F Handel and his "gallant" style created a bridge from the Baroque to the 'classical' composers Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Though preferred over J S Bach for important musical positions, the 2 composers clearly got on well, as Telemann was C P E Bach's godfather. Handel made the remark that Telemann could write 8- part motets as easily as most people wrote letters! Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) was a multi-instrumentalist and self-taught, becoming a composer against his family's wishes. Initially he read law, but finally settled on a career in music. Following positions in Leipzig and Frankfurt, he settled in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of its five main churches. His personal life was fraught: his first wife died less than two years after their marriage, and his second wife had affairs and incurred a large gambling debt before leaving him. Telemann's output for organ included 48 chorale preludes and 20 small fugues (modal fugues) to accompany his chorale harmonisations for 500 hymns. His music incorporates French, Italian, and German national styles, and he was even influenced by Polish popular music. The Telemann Museum in Hamburg is dedicated to him.
