Tafelmusik (Musique de table), collection of 18 chamber pieces for various ensembles organized into 3 "productions"

Composition Date - 1733

Composition Description by Brian Robins

No Baroque composer showed greater flair when it came to marketing his own works than Telemann. Numerous publications, many serving a didactic purpose, were seen into print by this astonishingly industrious composer. Two large-scale publications in particular stand out for their range and diversity, Der getreue Music-Meister ("The Faithful Music Master") (1727-29), and Musique de Table (Table Music), published in 1733 under its French title, but more frequently refered to by the German name of Tafelmusik. As was his custom when having his music published, he himself oversaw the publication down to editing and engraving. The contents are unlikely to have been written especially for the publication, more probably being drawn from the composer's existing stock of works. The name chosen for the collection reflects a long tradition of publishing works under such titles as "a music banquet" or something similar, and does not necessarily imply that the three "productions" into which Telemann divided the publication were literally intended to form the accompaniment to a meal. The suggestion that the music was culled from preexisting works is underlined by the fact that there is no attempt to provide unity of key, although each set does have a principal key (E minor, D major, and B flat major respectively).

The format of each part consists of six works that include both orchestral and chamber music. An opening orchestral suite, consisting of a French overture followed either by the usual stylized dances or by Telemann's piquantly named character pieces, is followed by a quartet. Then comes a concerto for two or three instruments: transverse flute and violin in Production One, three violins in Production Two, and two horns in Production Three. Two chamber works follow: the first a trio sonata in all three cases, the second a solo sonata for transverse flute and basso continuo (One), violin and basso continuo (Two), or oboe and continuo (Three). Finally, Telemann rounds off each Production with a short orchestral conclusion. Production One is the most chamber-like, with the Concerto in A for flute and violin a particular highlight. The second Production is more extroverted, with the inclusion of trumpet and oboe in the opening Suite in D introducing a note of ceremony absent in its predecessor. The final Production opens with a Suite in B flat distinguished by a splendid Ouverture and several picturesque movements such as the rustic Bergerie. Its resplendent concerto for two horns in E flat is also worthy of particular notice.
