Summary

"The appearance of this volume in the immediate wake of two Telemann anniversaries - the 250th of his death in 2017 and the 300th of his move to Hamburg in 2021 - invites us to consider its position near the start of a second century of scholarship on the composer. It was in 1908, in fact, that the field of Telemann studies was virtually initiated by an edition of two late masterpieces, the oratorio Der Tag des Gerichts and the dramatic cantata Ino. The editor of that volume, Max Schneider, established a solid basis for future investigations of the composer's life and music with an introduction of almost seventy densely-packed pages, only a few of which specifically addressed the featured works. Schneider not only corrected existing scholarship on the composer (such as it was), but also quoted liberally from little known letters, drew upon neglected archival documents, provided illuminating musical examples, and reprinted key biographical documents in their entirety. Even the fascinating - and at the time, very much ongoing - story of Telemann's posthumous reception was laid out in its essentials"--
