Telemann: Paris Quartet / Kuijken Brothers, Gustav Leonhardt and others

Johann Joachim Quantz, in his book “Versuch einer Anweisung die Flote traversiere zu spielen”, praises these works by Telemann as the norm for quartets and trio sonatas. There are a total of 12 pieces called the Paris Quartet. Six of them are sometimes simply called “quartets”. I have all the pieces on CD by the Kuijken Quartet, all the pieces by Masahiro Arita, Christophe Rousset and others, and six pieces by American Baroque (This disc includes a harp in the continuo). It is an easy repertoire for flute players, and I have played some of them. #baroque #telemann #片山俊幸
