Let's say the emotional range of the recorder or the transverse flute are not on a par with those of a harpsichord or piano. So, after re-listening to half a dozen Telemann discs, a certain degree of sameness creeps in...  ???

I enjoy a personal limit on the Telemann I can listen to with pleasure, myself  8)

Now playing, and this time I'm going to get to the end, dammit, after multiple false starts in recent days...

Well, if you can add  'iana' to the composer's name, it qualifies as 'quality drivel'  ;D

Mild ouch (as one who has dubbed a piece Handeliana . . . .)

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Paganiniana" or 'Rossiniana". But hey, one's drivel is another person's guilty pleasure, sometimes even an avowed favourite !
