This scheme does not resemble that of the twelve flute fantasies, which progress in a roughly stepwise direction from A major to G minor.[2] However, some overall structure seems to be implied: the first movement of Fantasia 7 subtly references the opening of the first fantasia in the collection, indicating that Telemann possibly conceived this work as two groups of 6 fantasias. He has, indeed, described the collection as "12 fantasias ... of which 6 include fugues and 6 are Galanterien", with "fugues" referencing the contrapuntal style of certain fantasias.[3]
Telemann's violin fantasias exhibit mastery of not only compound melodic lines, but also of idiomatic writing for violin,
