Simon Callow reads a third excerpt from the composer's autobiography, in which Telemann recalls his early court appointments in Sorau and Eisenach, how he narrowly missed employment as a spy, and how a virtuoso violinist shamed him into practice. Today's music includes the Concerto polonais, a Methodical
Sonata for flute, the Violin Concerto in E, and a Trio Sonata in C minor
(Essercizii musici).
