.... That women could be professional composers was nearly unimaginable in 18th-century Europe. Their marginalization was largely responsible for a bourgeoning amateur market, of which male composers availed themselves. Perhaps the only positive side effect of that system was the creation of high-quality music for amateurs to play at home. Georg Philipp Telemann’s collection Der getreue Music-Meister is an extensive example of such music. The charming Capriccio in G major is from that very collection. Notes by Timothy Hagen
