This edition presents Telemann’s Fantasias for Solo Flute in double form, first, a facsimile of the only source and second, a transcription according to modern practice. This transcription was thought necessary because of the rather poor quality of the original edition: the print is irregular and occasionally very small, and the engraving is unclear, sometimes leaving doubt as to which note is intended. In the included “Critical Report”, these doubtful places are listed, together with my suggestions. — Barthold Kuijken
