In 1735, Georg Philip Telemann published a set of 12 fantasias for solo violin. (
Page on IMSLP.) These are surprisingly varied in design and style, but the sixth in E minor is quite traditional in its four-movement
sonata da chiesa order. The first movement is a very expressive sarabande, the second is a fugue in
presto tempo, the third is a siciliana, and the fourth is a sonata-like Allegro.
The siciliana is a simple--but, for Telemann, rare--example of a rising cadence gesture tied to a long-range intervallic design. The initial fourth D5-G5 is tentative, but confirmed in the third measure by a definite linear connection to A5. The second half unfolds a sixth B4-G5 systematically through a rising, partly chromatic, line.
