This is a collection of 168 keyboard pieces by Georg Philipp Telemann, representing a significant body of Baroque repertoire. They are musically distinctive for their variety of forms, contrapuntal mastery, and melodic inventiveness.
Requires excellent finger dexterity and a nuanced understanding of Baroque ornamentation.
168 Keyboard pieces is rated Henle level 6 of 9 — advanced repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 7–8. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 8.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 6 — meaning you can already play level 5–6 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
