Telemann's Paris Quartet no.1(1738)

It should be noted that I indeed do HATE the modern flute(metal)! Once upon hearing Jed Wentz playing the transverse flute at a "I Furiosi" concert here in Toronto, I discovered how much I love this instrument. It is made out of wood and has a sweeter and thankfully, a less metallic sound. Transverse flutes are the instruments that were common during the Baroque period and were first introduced by the Germans. Do not get this confused with the recorder as the transverse is played the same way as modern flutes......ugh!

Please feel free to discover Telemann's wonderful music for this remarkable instrument....he wrote a great deal and it's all very civilized music!

ENJOY!!
