Telemann Research since 1975
JEANNE SWACK (MADISON/WISCONSIN)
The past fifteen years have witnessed a long-overdue surge of
interest in the music of Georg Philipp Telemann, a composer who
must certainly rank as one of the most influential figures in the
first half of the eighteenth century. Largely overshadowed in
modern historiography by his close friend and contemporary J. S.
Bach, Telemann had been subject to disdain caused by an unjust
compari- son between two composers of different styles and
compositional outlooks, a disdain colored by values that eschewed
the melodic, uncomplicated style of the style galant in favor of
contrapuntal complexity and stylistic difficulty. Spit- ta's
infamous comparison of what he thought were settings of Neumeister
can- tata libretti by Bach and Telemann exemplifies the ways in
which the prestige invoked by a composer's name can summon
preconceived notions of excellence or deficiency in
composition.1
One of the most crucial catalysts behind the recent burgeoning
of scholarly interest in Telemann is certainly the Early Music
movement. While Telemann's chamber music has long been the backbone
of the repertoire of original instru- ment ensembles, the past
decade, and especially the last five years, have wit- nessed a
plethora of excellent recordings of major works, both instrumental
and vocal. To cite only a few outstanding examples, one must
mention Musica An- tiqua K61n's recent recordings of the complete
Musique de Table (1733) and the dramatic solo cantata Ino (1765)2
as well as numerous concertos and ouvertures, the Freiburger
Vokalenensemble's recording of the Passion oratorio Das selige
Erwdgen des bittern Leidens und Sterbens Jesu Christi (1722)," and
Capella Savaria's recordings of the full-length comic opera Der
geduldige Socrates (1721) and the Brockes-Passion (1716).4
Another important catalyst has been the activities of the
Zentrum ffir Tele- mann-Pflege und -Forschung in Magdeburg,
Germany. Under the auspices of the government of the former German
Democratic Republic, the Zentrum has sponsored since 1963 an
approximately triennial Telemann festival (the Tele- mann-Festtage)
and international musicological conference, and has published
PHILIPP SPITTA, Johann Sebastian Bach, trans. Clara Bell and J.
A./Fuller Maitland (London 1951), I, p. 486-94. Compare, for
example, his condescending assessment of Telemann's "Uns ist ein
Kind geboren," TVWV 1: 1451: "This piece, probably written in
half-an-hour--to judge from the swiftness of the writing--shows us
the worst side of the church music of the time; it has all the
meagreness of the older cantata with all the pretension to filling
a broader form" (p. 488), with his laudatory account of BWV 160,
"Ich weiiB, dai mein Erloser lebt," a work now known to be a
composition of Telemann (BWV 160=TVWV 1: 877).
Musique de Table: Musica Antiqua K61n, Reinhard Goebel, director
(Deutsche Grammophon, 427 619-2, 1989); Ino: Musica Antiqua K61n,
Reinhard Goebel, director (Deutsche Grammophon 429 772-2, 1990).
Concentus Musicus Wien, under Nikolaus Harnoncourt, has also
released an excellent new recording of Ino (Teldec 2292-44633-2,
1990).
Das selige Erwdgen, Wolfgang Schifer, director: Amati SRR 8905/2
(1989). Der geduldige Socrates, Capella Savaria, Nicholas McGegan,
director: Hungaroton HCD 12957-60 (1987); Brockes-
Passion, Capella Savaria, Nicholas McGegan, director: Hungaroton

conference reports and individual monographs on Telemann's life
and works, most importantly the series Magdeburger
Telemann-Studien. Indeed, most of the articles on Telemann's music
have been published through the Zentrum. They have also been active
in preparing scholarly transcriptions of the works performed during
the Festtage, many of which receive their first modern per-
formance during the festivals. Closely related to the activities at
the Zentrum in Magdeburg has been the series of conferences and
monographs on the perfor- mance of eighteenth-century music,
especially that of Telemann (Studien zur Auffiihrungspraxis und
Interpretation von Instrumentalmusik des 18. Jahrhunderts,
Blankenburg/Harz 1975-) under the editorship of the conductor of
the Tele- mann Kammerorchester, E. Thom.
The year 1981, the three-hundredth anniversary of the composer's
birth, saw an unprecedented quantity of Telemann research
published. Much of that work was, however, introductory in nature,
with the exception of some of the work presented at the 1981
Telemann-Festtage. In addition, numerous general articles appeared
in practical journals such as those for choral directors and music
edu- cators.5
Despite the increase in the amount of Telemann-related research
in the last few years, significant lacunae remain. One of the most
pressing tasks is the completion of the Telemann-Werke Verzeichnis
(TWV), a series of volumes de- signed as a companion to the
selected edition of Telemann's works (Georg Philipp Telemann:
Musikalische Werke [TA], Kassel 1953-). To date, only one volume,
comprising Telemann's keyboard works, chamber works without basso
continuo, lute pieces, and chamber works in one or two parts, has
appeared (ed. M. Ruhnke, Kassel 1984). Several dissertations that
include thematic catalogues of various genres have filled some of
this gap, but most are in need of updating. It is crucial, in
addition, that scholarly editions of a wider representation of
Telemann's vocal works be undertaken, since relatively few works
are available at present.
Two volumes of Georg Philipp Telemann: Musikalische Werke have
appeared since 1975: Vol. XXV, Sechs Quartette oder Trios (1733),
ed. M. Ruhnke, 1981; and Vol. XXVI, Konzerte ffir mehrere
Instrumente, ed. S. Kross, 1989 (comprising nine concertos from
manuscript sources). Two additional volumes have not yet ap-
peared: Vol. XVI, Johannes-Passion 1745, ed. H. Horner and M.
Ruhnke; and Vol. XVII, Seliges Erwdgen, ed. W. Menke. At present,
BWirenreiter's focus is on the publication of the thematic
catalogues. The second volume, comprising the rest of the chamber
music, should prove to be especially useful, since most of the
chamber music in three or more parts is transmitted in manuscript
sources and the shear volume of material makes the identification
of individual works diffi- cult.
The long-awaited appearance of W. Menke's thematic catalogue of
the vocal works (Thematisches Verzeichnis der Vokalwerke von Georg
Philipp Telemann, Frankfurt am Main 1982) should enable systematic
studies of Telemann's vocal
Such articles have not been included in this study.

oeuvre, especially the cantatas, which comprise the bulk of his
output with around 1500 surviving works. The user should be
apprised, however, that the catalogue represents to a large extent
work undertaken a half-century ago, and that it should be used with
the understanding that all sources for a work may not be listed or
that the material may be incomplete. Researchers interested in the
Kapitdnsmusik, the pairs of oratorios and serenatas composed for
the annual banquets of the Hamburg city militia, will find W.
Maerten's splendid combi- nation of extended essay and thematic
catalogue [Georg Philipp Telemanns soge- nannte Hamburgische
Kapitainsmusiken (1723-1765) = Quellenkataloge zur Musik-
geschichte, vol. 21, ed. R. Schaal (Wilhelmshaven 1988)]
indispensible not only for the complete incipits and treatment of
texts, but also for its extensive cover- age of the context and
background of the works, including the political, intellec- tual,
and artistic life in the city of Hamburg during Telemann's
tenure.
One of the most important tools for Telemann researchers,
especially those specializing in instrumental music, is O.
Landmann's Die Telemann-Quellen der Sdchsischen Landesbibliothek
(Dresden 1983). The catalogue gives no incipits, al- though this
shortcoming will be ameliorated with the publication of Volume 2 of
TWV. It provides invaluable material on the principal copyists and
their ap- proximate dates, but unfortunately the author was unable
to undertake a study of watermarks. Such a study would be crucial
to arriving at a closer chronology of the Dresden sources, allowing
contemporaneous copies by different scribes to be chronologically
linked.6 In addition to the Sdichsische Landesbibliothek, two other
major repositories of Telemann sources have unpublished catalogues
which may be consulted on-site. They are J. Jaenecke's catalogue of
the Tele- mann holdings in the Staatsbibliothek Preu1Bischer
Kulturbesitz, Berlin (largely sacred vocal music) and 0. Bill's (in
conjunction with B. Stewart) catalogue of the holdings in the
Hessische Landes- und Hochschulbibliothek, Darmstadt (largely
chamber music and orchestral works). Both catalogues contain exten-
sive information on copyists and watermarks. Publication of the
Darmstadt catalogue is foreseen.
One of the most puzzling aspects of the current state of
Telemann research is the almost total lack of interest in the
subject on the part of English-speaking scholars. The field has
been concentrated in the hands of German scholars, es- pecially
East German scholars whose work was subject to political scrutiny.
There are no book-length studies on Telemann in English, aside from
a transla- tion of R. Petzoldt's outdated biography,' very few
articles, and only a handful of Ph.D. dissertations.
The only ongoing project concerning Telemann's music in the
United States is the International Telemann Data Base project at
the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH)
in Menlo Park, California.8 The project was begun in 1987 under the
directorship of B. Stewart and is under-

taken in conjunction with the Magdeburg Zentrum. C. Lange
(Magdeburg) is currently the director of the project.
The electronic transcriptions prepared by the CCARH and the
Telemann Zentrum may be used for the purposes of editing, printing,
performance, and analysis. Works that have already been encoded
include the operas Orpheus (ed. P. Huth), Miriways (ed. B.
Reipsch), the serenata Teutschland griint und bliiht in Friede (ed.
W. Hirschmann), Fortsetzung des harmonischen Gottes-Dienstes
(1731/2), selected songs from the Singe-, Spiel-, und
General-Baf-Ulbungen (1733/4), Musique de Table (1733), XII solos
a' violon ou traversikre (1734), selec- tions from Sept fois sept
et un menuet (1728), and various sacred cantatas.
The scholarly series Recent Researches in the Music of the
Baroque Era, C. Wolff, ed. (A-R Editions, Madison, Wisconsin) will
soon be publishing two new volumes of Telemann's works with
accompanying essays. These are B. Baselt's edition of the one-act
opera-serenade Don Quichotte auf der Hochzeit des Comacho (1761)
(Recent Researches/Baroque, Vol. 64-65, 1991) and J. Swack's
edition of the XII solos a violon ou traversi're (1734).
Because of the sweeping political changes in Germany in the past
two years and the resulting financial instability, the
Konferenzbericht for the 1987 Tele- mann-Festtage has not yet
appeared. The theme for the conference was "Probleme der
quellenmidtigen Uberlieferung der Werke Telemanns im Hin- blick auf
die Erschlietung fiir die Musikpraxis." The most recent Telemann-
Festtage took place in March, 1990, with the theme "Telemanns
Auftrags- und Gelegenheitswerke - Funktion, Wert und Bedeutung."
Although the Telemann- Festtage were sponsored by the former GDR
government with the financial support of the city of Magdeburg, the
staff of the Zentrum fiir Telemann-Pflege und
-Forschung remains optimistic about their continuation. On 4
May, 1991 an international Telemann society (the
Telemann-Gesellschaft e.V.) was founded in Magdeburg.
As will be clear from the following bibliography, Telemann
research has fo- cused on biographical studies and genre studies.
Studies of his style have tend- ed to stress his ties to Eastern
Europe, especially to Polish folk music. Of the vocal works, some
of the Passions and the late oratorios and secular cantatas have
been treated in the dissertations of H. Frederichs, B. Stewart and
P. Czornyj, as well as smaller studies by M. Ruhnke, although much
work is still to be done.9 The works of R. Lynch, B. Baselt, and M.
Ruhnke, and an earlier dissertation by M. Peckham ("The Operas of
Georg Philipp Telemann," Ph.D. diss. Columbia University, 1972)
have treated the operas in detail, and the most pressing need is
for editions, since only three of the operas have appeared in print
(Der Geduldige Socrates, Der neumodische Liebhaber Damon,
Pimpinone). Edi- tions have been prepared for the remaining operas
for performance at the Tele- mann-Festtage, and it is now a matter
of bringing those editions to print. The Passions and Passion
Oratorios likewise suffer from a lack of modern editions.
9 An earlier dissertation, H. HORNER's Telemanns Passionsmusiken
(Leipzig 1933), provides a basic study of
Telemann's surviving Passions. In-depth studies of individual
works would be welcome.

Jeanne Swack: Telemann Research since 1975 143
It is the sacred cantatas that are the most in need of
specialized studies. Since the series Georg Philipp Telemann:
Musikalische Werke includes only the solo cantatas of the
Harmonischer Gottesdienst, the casual user is left with the erro-
neous impression that most of Telemann's cantatas are solo works.
The secular cantatas have been treated in C. Miihne, Die weltlichen
Solokantaten Georg Philipp Telemanns, Ph.D. diss.,
Martin-Luther-Universitdit Halle, 1981, and related ar- ticles, and
H. R. Jung, Georg Philipp Telemann als Eisenacher Kapellmeister und
seine weltlichen Festmusiken fiir den Eisenacher Hof: Ein Beitrag
zur Biographie des Komponisten und zur Geschichte der Eisenacher
Hofkapelle, Habilitationsschrift, Martin-Luther-Universitit Halle,
1975. But the around 1500 sacred cantatas for multiple voices have
been sadly neglected, due probably to the only recent ap- pearance
of a thematic catalogue, although the conference "Telemann und
seine Dichter" (Konferenzbericht der 6. Magdeburger
Telemann-Festtage von 9. bis 12. Juni 1977, Magdeburg 1978) brought
important insights into some of Tele- mann's cantata librettists."'
Very few of the cantatas have appeared in modern edition. Studies
of the cantatas might include selected Jahrgdnge, single libret-
tists, or a broad but selective chronological survey. A study of
Telemann's compositional process using autograph composing scores,
for example, the collection in the Staatsbibliothek Preutgischer
Kulturbesitz, Berlin, would be es- pecially welcome.
The current general interest in Vivaldi reception in Germany,
sparked by re- search on Bach's concertos and an increasing
appreciation for Vivaldi's music, has lead to several studies of
Telemann's concertos, most notably those of W. Hirschmann [Studien
zum Konzertschaffen von Georg Philipp Telemann, 2 vols. (Kassel
1986)] and P. Drummond [The German Concerto: Five
Eighteenth-Century Studies, (Oxford 1980)], as well as numerous
smaller studies by G. Fleischhauer. The ouvertures have remained
relatively neglected; the earlier dissertation by A. Hoffmann [Die
Orchestersuiten Georg Philipp Telemanns: TWV 55 (Ziirich 1969)] is
largely a thematic catalogue and there remains much work to be done
regarding chronology and stylistic development.
The chamber music, certainly Telemann's most performed works and
the works most represented in modern edition, have been the most
neglected by modern scholars. The publication of TWV, vol. 1 in
1984 enabled the first study of all the works for solo instrument
and basso continuo (J. Swack, The Solo Sonatas of Georg Philipp
Telemann: A Study of the Sources and Musical Style, Ph.D. diss.
Yale University, 1988). Since the publication of TWV, vol. 1, the
present author has discovered additional sources for a number of
the works and some attributions to other composers; these additions
will be published in volume 2 of TWV. The appearance of the next
volume of TWV, which will include a complete catalogue of the trios
and quartets, should enable similar studies of the rest of the
chamber music."
TVWV lists 1750 cantatas for church use, including lost works.
Both the present writer and W. HIRSCHMANN have been engaged in
studies of Telemann's chamber concertos.
