Tafelmusik (Telemann)

January 01, 1970

Tafelmusik is a collection of instrumental compositions by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), published in 1733. The original title is Musique de table. The work is one of Telemann's most widely known compositions; it is the climax and at the same time one of the last examples of courtly table music.

Table music by Georg Philipp Telemann
Frontispice of the score for “Musique de table” (Tafelmusik)
Published1733 (1733): Hamburg

Publication edit

The composition addressed predominantly wealthy music lovers. The complete set of parts of the extensive work, engraved in copper, cost 8 Reichsthaler — an exorbitant price, considering the fact that Johann Sebastian Bach received the same sum as remuneration for a complete orchestra at a court concert.

More than 200 subscribers were found who were willing to pay the price in advance and whose name, social status, and address were published in the first edition. The illustrious list comprised crowned heads, noblewomen, and merchants as well as German and non-German musicians and composers — among others George Frideric Handel from London, Johann Georg Pisendel and Johann Joachim Quantz from Dresden and Michel Blavet from Paris.

Telemann, who was music director of Hamburg at the time of publication, wrote:

Diß Werk wird hoffentlich mir einst zum Ruhm gedeien,
Du aber wirst den Wehrt zu keiner Zeit bereuen ...
This work will hopefully bring me glory one day; but you will never have regrets about its value ...

Max Seiffert proved 18 different citations from the Tafelmusik in Handel's works — in their time this was not considered plagiarism. Quite on the contrary, Telemann felt flattered, the more so as Handel reciprocated by procuring rare plants for his old friend.

Structure edit

The work consists of three parts (French: productions) with equal structure: they begin with an overture for full-scale orchestra, followed by a quartet for three instruments and continuo, an instrumental concerto for several solo instruments and strings, a trio sonata and a solo sonata with continuo. The final movements are titled Conclusion by Telemann: he resumes the key and instrumentation of the overture; beyond that, keys and instrumentation follow no discernible scheme.

With overture, concert, trio and solo sonata and the — in Baroque times — rare quartet, each part offers an example of the most important instrumental genres.

Recordings edit

Reinhard Goebel's recording of the complete Tafelmusik was the winner of the 1989 Penguin Rosette. The critics stated: "Much of Telemann's finest music is contained in this specially priced 4-CD set of his Tafelmusik, a collection encompassing the forms of the late Baroque: French overture and dance suite, quartet, concerto, trio, and solo sonata. Reinhard Goebel, a champion of this composer, and his Musica Antiqua Köln offer these outstanding performances of precision and clarity with dazzling virtuosity".[1]
