Andante And Allegro

Description

This set of two contrasting movements is derived from one of Telemann’s many trio sonatas which were originally intended for two treble instruments and continuo (keyboard plus a bass instrument). This arrangement for three double basses and harp may also be performed using one or more cellos to substitute for bass 1 and/or bass 2, or it works nicely with three cellos. Although the harp part adds a special character, it may be played on a piano or omitted entirely.
