[CITTERN] Re: Did Telemann play the cittern?

2009-09-02 Thread Martyn Hodgson 

   Most of Telemann's cantatas have a BC part for a Gallichon. My view is
   that they are for the large continuo instrument in A (string length in
   mid 90s) rather than the smaller instrument in D also known as mandora
   (some sources use the two names interchangeably) with a string length
   around 70cm

I just stumbled across the Telemann biography at HOASM:
http://www.hoasm.org/XIA/XIATelemann.html

It says:
..
by the age of 10 he had teamed to play the violin, the flute, the 
zither, and keyboard instruments.

..

No sources are quoted.

Does anybody know anything about this?

I suppose a cittern is more likely than a scheitolt-type instrument? 
There are known connections with Telemann and the mandora, and with duet 
arrangements for 11-course D-minor lute, but it would be interesting to 
find a cittern connection.
