PLAY ALONG! Telemann Canonic sonata nr. 1 | Team Recorder 

Thanks that makes the difference! nu kan ik in mijn tempo oefenen.

Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder my recorder teacher is Sally Alsop she said that her daughter knows you would you be able to come to my school

Did telemann write for tuba?

nathan carpenter to my knowledge, no. however, me being a bassoonist, I recommend you try playing his bassoon sonata in f minor transcribed for tuba (idk if there would be any conflicts in terms of register etc but yeah)

David McCafferty I played that on Euphonium

+Kurtis Kroon Singing it is a great idea though! Being able to sing the part (thus knowing the rhythm, melodic line, phrasing etc) is a fantastic way of practising :)

Andrei Iñaki Vasquez Do it!

Good luck and always practise.

Andrei Iñaki Vasquez ME TOO!!😍😍😍. .........Darn...I’m already 50.....darn 😂😂😂😂

@@o.aldenproductions.9858 I'm 48! 🤣🙄🥴Just got all the recorders up to Tenor. Oh I wish I stuck with recorder when I was a little brat! But as they say, it's never too late 🎶🎶🎶😊

Thank you!

Thanks for your nice comment! 🙏🏼

+Adrian Mathers Great idea- I'll look for a good one!

+April Munday Thanks for the suggestion!

Omg, you are right! Thanks for ctaching this - I'll update the description to let people know. Thanks!!

@@Team_Recorder There is another version at IMSLP without the additional bar: ks.imslp.net/files/imglnks/usimg/2/2a/IMSLP627314-PMLP54637-telemann_6_canonic_sonatas.pdf And thanks for the video, Sarah! My teacher just gave me this piece to practise. Edit: the link seems to be not working, here's another one: conquest.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/2/2a/IMSLP627314-PMLP54637-telemann_6_canonic_sonatas.pdf

+Boror The Great Ahh, thank you so much! Welcome to the Team :)

Hi Reyna, no worries - the whole transposing story can be confusing! I play this at concert pitch, so just play it as normal on the flute :)

Oh. It's all of bar 29 missing in vivace.

+Willem Kossen Good idea!!

Oh yes, Sarah whenever you play on your videos would you please step back from the camera so we can see both your hands? Thank you!

Aha, this is a good question! (cracks knuckles) You would be entirely correct - if the original piece were written for flutes in C, that is. Actually the recorder it was originally written for was the voiceflute - a tenor in D. This was the same pitch as the traverso - the baroque flute, that also had D as its lowest pitch. So to get from a voiceflute in D to an alto in F, you put it up a minor 3rd - hence from G to Bb. (recorder hack - you can read voiceflute fingering by pretendng you're reading bass clef and adding 3 flats :) Hope this helps!

Ah, very illuminating answer, Sarah! I hadn't realised that back in the 18th century the standard tenor recorder was a 'voice flute' in D, a tone higher than the modern one in C, so any transcription for the F-alto player would have been a tone lower than I had thought (hence Bb, not C) in order to maintain the original key on voice flute. So, let me see, I could either buy a voice flute and use it to play the Bb score with alto fingering, OR I could just read the original score in G on my tenor using normal C-fingering. Hmm, thats a hard one...(not!) Just to correct something you said: according to the flutetunes website (see my previous post) the music, published in 1723, was originally entitled "Six Canons or Sonatas for two German Flutes or two Violins, Compos'd by Georg Philip Telemann". The 'German flute' was apparently another name for the transverse flute, so that is the flute it was written for, not the voice flute. Also, yes, they both had the same low note of D, but it required 6-fingers-down on the transverse flute, not 7 as on the voice flute. That's because on the transverse flute the whole length of the instrument sounded the bottom note of D, with the rh little finger key opening a hole to produce a D#! As for your 'voiceflute fingering' hack, I'm just not going there, my brain can't cope with that!

Piraja - Sarah is playing an alto recorder, not a soprano or tenor. So that’s how you finger F and B flat on an alto.

Thank you, Jennifer!

+Erich Hall Hi Erich, it's a 442 alto by Yoav Ran :)

The original in G goes down to a D, which is too low to play on alto. A lot of editions transpose it to Bb so you can play it on alto. Those Bbs and Ebs are very good for the finger technique ;)

It shows it with a 'dal segno' symbol - - instead of numbers! Thanks for pointing this out!

(the 'dal segno' symbol is like a curly S with a line through and two dots - but you can google it too :)

Make sure you don't eat sticky, milky or sugary food beforehand (drink water and brush your teeth), swallow excess slaiva before playing, warm the recorder under your arm to discourage condensation, and clean the inside of the instrument :)
