12 Fantasias for viola da gamba by Georg Philipp Telemann — now for clarinet!

New arrangements of the long-lost bass viol Fantasias by Telemann are now available in my Shop - in three different versions for clarinets with lowest note E, E-flat or C. These can be played on literally any clarinet, from piccolo clarinets to bass and contrabass clarinets. All 12 Fantasias are now available for instant purchase and download. These arrangements are relatively difficult and offer a good kind of challenge to even the most experienced players. Spice up your next recital with some baroque music, tailor made for the larger range of the clarinet! (Previews below only of the version for clarinet to low E. Previews of all versions can be viewed in the shop.)

Each Fantasia appears in three different keys, ensuring that the lowest note of the bass viol corresponds to the lowest note of the clarinet played. The Fantasias may however be played in the most comfortable transposition for the keywork of the player’s clarinet.
