Telemann Fantasia No. 2 basset horn in F

Georg Philipp Telemann — Fantasia No. 2, TWV 40:27 0:00 — I. Vivace 2:43 — II. Andante 4:52 — I. Vivace da capo 7:41 — III. Presto Originally written in D major for viola da gamba This arrangement is performed here on basset horn in F, played in C major, 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 E-flat and 3) for clarinet to low C. They're available as one self-contained PDF incl. an introduction, overview of movements and keys, and the scan of Telemann’s original copper press score. Available as a digital download from my webshop, www.richardehaynes.com/shop. 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.
