Telemann: Oboe Sonatas CD - Import

Movement Two - Allegretto - This movement begins with some of the rhythms of the first movement, but slowly evolves into a slower, more lyrical set of melodies, echoed and refrained throughout the movement. This movement, in contrast to the first movement, is much more relaxed; almost content. Movement Three - Andante Cantabile - It is from this movement that the symphony takes its name. Extravagant melodies and harmonies are started and stopped, begun and mislaid throughout the movement. This is typical of the Chicago Constructionist School, of which Ms. Ende' is the founder. The assembling of melodic elements as the movement progresses, each little strand contributing or constructing the final theme. Rather than the classical style of announcing the theme and then dissecting it, Ms. Ende' announces fragments of the melody and then constructs a final theme from the individual aphorisms or phrasings. The movement ends rather sparsely, almost as if the orchestra has run out of energy.
