About this item
Telemann's Sonatas for two flutes, op. 2 belong, with Quantz' Duets, op. 2 and W.F. Bach's Duets, to the best that the eighteenth-century duet literature has to offer. Telemann's Sonatas for two flutes, op. 2 were so popular in the eighteenth century that pirated editions appeared in Amsterdam, London and Paris. Quantz called Telemann 'ein gründlicher Meister' ('a thorough master') in the composition of duets. The mix of Italian and French styles and the fact that the two parts are equally interesting account for the popularity of these pieces.
Every amateur flute player knows these duo’s by Telemann. They became popular after their first publication in the eighteenth century and haven’t lost their appeal ever since. Technically not too difficult and musically very attractive.
For more advanced players.

Composer
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
Georg Philipp Telemann (14 March 1681 – 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Żary, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches.
