The latest volume in the Leggiero series is a selection from Telemann's enormous oeuvre, featuring movements that can be performed as independent pieces.
Included among the generally fast dances taken from the suites (or ouvertures) are several slow movements from concertos or concerti grossi, so that the volume provides really varied material for youth orchestras or amateur musicians.
For different occasions the performers can put together pairs or even suites of movements that are compatible in terms of their key and character.
