12 Fantasies for Solo Violin

Highly characterful and unfailingly inventive, Telemann's Twelve Fantasies for Solo Violin
were written with an eye to the amateur or student market. They explore the possibilities of
solo violin writing with suggestions of polyphony and modest elements of double and triple
stopping, while making use of instrumental forms derived from the sonata or the suite, often
with an overt debt to Corelli and his Italian successors. American Record Guide proclaimed
that 'the future of great violin playing is safe and very bright in Augustin Hadelich's 24-
year-old hands' of Haydn s Violin Concertos (8.570483), recorded after he won the 2006
International Violin Competition of Indianapolis.
