I love the Telemann Canonic Sonatas, and not being able to find a video with oboes I’m putting this up instead. The oboe duo I’m coaching will be playing this, or at least part of it (might have to cut it down due to time issues), along with Sibicky’s Four Figment Fragments, 7:00 on March 11 at the UCSC recital hall. (Admission is free!)

I love Telemann. I find that his music fits well with my fingers. Handel, not so much. So give me Telemann!

The following isn’t the first canonic sonata, which my students are playing, but the second … but still, you get double reeds on this one:

And here’s the Sibicky (I know, I know, I’ve put it up twice before. But hey, it’s a fun work!):

… and it’s now 10:08 and I’ve yet to brave standing … or eating! Guess I’d better see how I’m doing.
