PROGRAM
Jacques Ogg, harpsichord; Wilbert Hazelzet, flute
Tasty fare: Tafelmusik originally meant "music composed for a banquet," and this week we'll sample a feast of music—including some of Georg Phillipp Telemann's own Tafelmusik—with flutist Wilbert Hazelzet and harpsichordist Jacques Ogg. This remarkable Dutch duo brings a lively sensibility to its chosen repertoire, adding gusto or delicacy as required. They'll also bring us lovely works by J.S. Bach and his son C.P.E. Bach.
MUSIC PLAYED IN THE PROGRAM
- William Telemann: Solo in b minor (from Tafelmusik, Book I)
- J.S. Bach: Sonata in b minor, BWV 1030
- C.P.E. Bach: Duetto in D major, Wq.83

Shock of the Old
Attempts at historical accuracy can at times resemble the party game "telephone": one person whispers a simple phrase into another's ear, and so on—ear to lips to ear around a circle of friends—until by degrees it mutates into something far more humorous or risqué. A trace of the original may survive in what is finally spoken aloud, but the contrast between starting point and endpoint usually reveals how easy it is for fact and meaning to go astray where human beings are concerned.
