TELEMANN, Georg
Philipp, 1681-1767
Der Getreue
Music-Meister (1728-1729). Présentation por Michel Giboureau
detail of page
Collections Dominantes. Courlay, 2004. 4º,
xvi, 108 pp. Halftone of the Hamburg, 1728 edition. The first German
musical edition published by installments and model for Birnstiel’s
Musikalisches Allerley and CPE Bach’s Musikalisches Vielerey. Telemann
prepared the pewter plates himself; he first wrote the music down in
pencil (in mirror image) and then engraved over the pencil, taking
advantage of a ruler and other engraver’s tools which resulted in
greater consistency. Besides providing an amazing
glimspe into the technical side of music publishing, flipping through
the pages of Der Getreue Music-Meister—with its rich anthology of
music aimed at a diverse audience (keyboardists, vocalists, violinists,
wind players, etc., professional and amateur)—is like walking into a
cozy and amply stocked 18th-c. music store. Wrappers.
