Telemann’s Flute Fantasias
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1676) played the flute (among several other instruments), which explains his understanding of the capabilities of the instrument and his ability to write so idiomatically for it.
Flute players regard the Fantasias as some of the best music ever written for solo flute.
