Telemanns Sonata (solo) for traverse flute and basso continuo comes from his Tafelmusik published in 1733, one of the most important instrumental cycles of the late Baroque period. The prominent themes of the Sonata, especially of the first andlast movements, seem to have impressed G. Fr. Handel so much that he took them up in his Organ Concerto No. 15 in D minor. The edition strictly follows the first edition published by Telemann himself, which made it possible to correct several errorsin 20th-century editions.
