Panel-ready practice tips
- 1.Telemann's sonata on bass is a Baroque chamber work: the character must be light, conversational, and rhythmically precise.
- 2.A major on bass: the open A string is the primary intonation anchor. Tune every C# (the major third) slightly high of equal temperament in tonal context.
- 3.Baroque articulation on bass: short, light détaché with a clear start. The bass naturally sustains notes: shorten the note duration deliberately.
- 4.Ornaments at cadences are expected and essential. A trill from the upper note at the penultimate bar of each phrase is the minimum.
- 5.Tempo is strict in Telemann. This is dance music: a steady, metronomic pulse with light stress on beat one of the dance pattern.
