Congratulation Ania!
There are great recordings of Telemann music on the lutes [sic!]. But I would like to add something to your description of Partie Polonoise by "Melante". Probably name Sarrois in the part after the Hanaque is probably connected with Serra dance which was popular on the North area close to the Baltic Sea. Telemann probably wrote this piece later then he had stayed in Silesian Sorau (unfortunately I must say). Probably it was happened in Hamburg after 1721. Because of his stay in Hamburg and his contacts with East Europe piece Le Ris means yachting reef. A misunderstanding with name of this part comes from the second meaning of this word in French - a laugh mentioned by Julian Bream:) I love lute music from Silesia so your Courante and Passagalia (especially chromatic moments) by Esaias Reusner junior are good for me so thank you also for these pieces:) Cheers Grzegorz Dnia Poniedzia^3ek, 17 Listopada 2014 23:25 Anna Wiktoria Swoboda <[email protected]> napisa^3(a) > Dear friends, > continuing the thread about "Parties" for 2 lutes from The GrA 1/4ssau > (KrzeszA^3w) manuscript collection, I would like to show you our > recording of one of them. > While working on it I've been thinking about the enigmatic names of > some of the movements: > Hanaque - here very characteristic, explicit folk inspired dance - > means "Moravian"; > Sarrois (coming attaca after) must be, I guess, a dance popular in > Sorau (AA>>ary) - the residence of prince Erdmann von Promnitz, whom G. > Ph.
