Telemann - Essercizii Musici
Today Telemann is particularly known for his sonatas, and he himself stated in his autobio graphies that he considered his trios to be his finest works and yet the works that make up his Essercizii musici are often viewed in negative terms, presumably because of their lack of originality. The collection was published sometime after the publication of his autobiography of 1739 and before an advertisement in the Hamburger Correspondent in 1740, but it is commonly believed that these sonatas were probably composed up to ten years prior to their date of publication, and are representative of the state of the sonata in Germany at that time. This music was aimed at the lucrative market of bourgeois, amateur musicians, who passed their evenings playing music in their homes. The Essercizii musici were long considered Telemann’s swan song as an engraver and publisher of his own music, a remarkable business he gave up in 1740 with the sale of his engraved copper and pewter plates.
