ResumoThis is the third and final volume of the Telemann-Werkverzeichnis (TWV): Instrumentalwerke, a supplement to Bärenreiter's selected critical edition of the composer's works (Musikalische Werke [Kassel: Bärenreiter, 1950-]). Covered here are over 200 concertos and orchestral suites, the former divided into works with one soloist (work group 51), two soloists (52), three soloists (53), and four soloists as well as "group concertos" (54). The suites, regardless of their instrumentation, are assigned to work group 55. (References below to specific works omit "TWV" and begin with the group number.) This repertory has already been surveyed in thematic catalogs by Adolf Hoffmann (Die Orchestersuiten Georg Philipp Telemanns: TWV 55 [Wolfenbüttel: Möseler, 1969]) and Siegfried Kross (Das Instrumentalkonzert bei Georg Philipp Telemann [Tutzing: Hans Schneider, 1969]). Martin Ruhnke's new catalog largely supersedes these earlier publications, despite omitting some useful information supplied by Hoffmann. Well organized, attractively produced, and easy to use, it provides an authoritative survey of a repertory that is beginning to receive much-deserved attention from performers and scholars alike. Indeed, to flip through the catalog is to be overwhelmed by an astonishing diversity of instrumentation and style, and above all by Telemann's remarkable inventiveness over a period of six or more decades as a composer of instrumental music.
