Not a major opus, rather a delightful piece by the early Baroque composer, Georg Philip Telemann. Telemann wrote with a lighter hand than his contemporaries, Bach and Handel, in what was known as <I>stile galante (galant style).</I> <U>Sonata in A Major for Flute & Violin, Op 2 No </U>3 is an excellent example. The opening <I>Siciliana</I> uses the tripping rhythm of a familiar courtly dance by that name. The <I>Vivace </I>is a canon<I> </I>(think of a round) rather than a full-fledged fugue. Lovely passages in parallel thirds and sixths form the <I>Andante</I> movement. And the final <I>Allegro </I>is an appealing mixture of imitation and ornamentation. This sonata is the third in a set of six for <U>any</U> two treble instruments. We chose flute and violin for their contrasting timbres. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> <a href="JavaScript:window.close()">Close</a>  </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I> <p> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0" width=0 height=0 align="absmiddle"> <param name=movie value="mp3ss208s.swf"> <param name=quality value=best> <param name=wmode value=transparent> <param name=bgcolor value=#FFFFFF> <param name=loop value=false> <embed src="mp3ss208s.swf" quality=best wmode=transparent bgcolor=#FFFFFF loop=false width=0 height=0 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" align="absmiddle"> </embed> </object> </p>  </I></FONT></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div>  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
