Here, I have taken not a flute piece, but his viola concerto and transcribed it for flute and piano.
Its a fast lively movement.

A musical life....
Georg Phillip Telemann (1681- 1767) was born in Germany.
By the age of 12 he had taught himself to play four instruments - and composed an opera.
His mother forbade him to pursue music as a career, wanting him to become a clergyman - but he continued to study it on his own, in secret.
In 1714, he married the 16-year old daughter of the City Clerk. They had eight sons - and one daughter.
He was good friends with J.S Bach, and indeed became Godfather to C.P.E Bach, his famous composer son.
