This volume contains trio sonatas written during the early part of Telemann's
career, when he was heavily influenced by the sonatas of Corelli and the
dance music of Jean-Baptiste Lully. Probably composed before 1715, these
works reveal an unfamiliar side of the composer, one far removed from the
galant style and “mixed taste” of the music he published during the
1720s and 1730s. The trio sonatas encompass a variety of styles and movement
types, including French preludes and dances, ostinato-based slow movements,
vigorous fugues, some of the earliest known sonata movements in ritornello
form, and a late example of the Stylus phantasticus in instrumental
ensemble music. Seven of the works are scored for two violins (including
two trios that call for scordatura); three are suitable for pairs of flutes,
oboes, or violins; and the remaining two are for oboe and violin, and flute
and viola da gamba.
