Amazing Baroque Classics for Solo Violin
Review of Telemann: Fantasias for Solo Violin by
mightyd
Advantages: True Baroque Classics and fun to play
Disadvantages: None really, apart from some can get difficult, but nevertheless enjoyable and problems are easy to overcome
...listening to these pieces, just imagine yourself playing them, its so amazing.
You really need to try these pieces, whether that is listening to them or simply playing them. Some slow and elegant and others, fast and lively. They are a really amazing set of pieces which will astonish you like they did me and Telemann is now one of my favourite composers especailly of the baroque period- such as unique style and for SOLO violin. Absolutely Amazing!...
