They are ideal subjects for exploring the vast range of coloration and expression possible with electronic instrumentation. Georg Philipp Telemann, Chamber Sonatas. Telemann holds the record as the most prolific composer of all time. Among the hundreds of his chamber works, the C-minor Trio Sonata is one of the most popular and well known. The rendition given here begins with somewhat immitative voicings and progresses to more purely electronic sounds. Although contemporaneous with J. S. Bach, Telemann generally worked in a brighter and sunnier style. The F major Sonata originally for flute and harpsichord is a perfect example of this happy disposition.
