Telemann Fantasia No. 1 Ab piccolo clarinet

Georg Philipp Telemann — Fantasia No. 1, TWV 40:26 0:00 — I. Adagio 0:21 — Allegro 1:14 — Adagio 1:34 — Allegro 2:24 — II. Allegro Originally written in C minor for viola da gamba This arrangement is performed on piccolo clarinet in Ab, played in D minor, sounding in Bb minor, however it can be played on any clarinet. The arrangement appears in three versions: 1) for clarinet to low E, 2) for clarinet to low Eb and 3) for clarinet to low C. They are available as one self-contained PDF incl. an introduction, overview of movements and keys, and the scan of Telemann’s original copper press score. They are available from my website, www.richardehaynes.com. As the original work was written for a polyphonic instrument, some adjustments have been made for the clarinet, essentially a monophonic instrument. However, the viola da gamba and the clarinet both have a large range of over three octaves, which is fully utilised in this music.
