Description
Dear cellists,
in 2016, after a slumber of almost 300 years,
Telemann's Fantasias for Viola da Gamba solo G281 were published by us, and by now most viola da gamba players
in the world should know these unique compositions. So it was
inevitable that we would be asked again and again for a version for
violoncello, even though it was clear that the pieces were written for
the six-string viola da gamba in third-fourth tuning. - We are
therefore very pleased that the cellist Christoph Habicht has
nevertheless succeeded in creating an arrangement for his instrument.
It is obvious after what has been said above, that this was not
possible without cuts and modifications, but see or hear for yourself,
the fantasies have remained the same in spite of everything. In order
for you to understand the decisions of the editor, the complete
facsimile of the original print is also included in this edition.
