Tune of the Day: Aria by Telemann
from Partita No. 1, arranged for flute and keyboard
This syncopated piece, carrying no tempo indication, is the sixth movement, and fifth “aria”, of Georg Philipp Telemann's Partita No. 1 in B-flat major, TWV 41:B1, originally published in 1716 as part of the Kleine Kammermusik (“little chamber music”) collection. The original edition indicates that the melody is intended to be played by an oboe, a violin, or a flute.
