Andrew,
The thing about the "Klingende Geographie" is that it is a modern
(i.e. 20th century) compilation of movements from various suites put
together by A. Hoffmann for his edition, and has, if I remember
correctly, nothing to do with the "Singende Geographie". Some time
ago I took the trouble to sort it all out, but I don't seem to be
able to find my notes at the moment. The main part of it came from
TWV 55:B5, Suite in B Major for Strings and Bc (Les Turcs, Les
Suisses, Les Muscovrites, Les Portugais) but other movements are
taken from other suites, such as 55:B11 (L'Espérance de Mississipi)
and so on. So what you have to do is comb through the TWV category
"55" in Ruhnke's catalogue 'till you have all the movements in
Hoffmann's edition! If I find my notes in the next few days, I can
drop you a line privately.

Hello, all,
Since there seems to be more than a little Telemann expertise on
this list I
thought I'd ask my question, too.
Can anyone help me find original source materials (MsS, etc) for
Telemann's
Klindenden Geographie? I know there's a Hoffmann edition available via
Lucks, but I'd like to go back to original sources, if possible.
For those
of you who don't know this suite, it's a collection of 30 something
movements describing in musical terms various countries of the world,
starting close in and working further out (to Afrika, then finally
Amerika,
the Hope of the Mississippi). It's mostly for strings and is quite
engaging,
often painting a dual portrait of a country, both "old" and "new."
I have a possible research and recording project in line and given
that I've
been out of the musicological research mode for some time I would
appreciate
help in finding sources.
The above is a mid or later work. It is perhaps based on a much
earlier work
"Singenden Geographie" (maybe misattributed?), hopefully with
words? Again,
what searching I've done hasn't yielded any original sources, so
any help
with that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Now back to your regular Finale programming.
Andrew Levin
