The duets by Telemann for transverse flute/alto recorder are well known and cherished. They have been held in great esteem from the time of their initial publication. Johann Joachim Quantz described them as masterpieces. Four collections of six duets by Telemann have been known for some time.
The musical archive of the Berlin Sing-Akademie was moved for safekeeping in 1943, a time that predates the revival of interest in the recorder. In 1999 it was rediscovered in Kiev. Among the the works discovered in this archive were nine previously unknown sonatas for two flutes by Telemann. I have posted these nine duets for transverse flute today, transposed up a minor third as is typical so they lay well on the alto recorder. I hope you will enjoy them and add them to your library!
