III. Allegro
Originally written in G minor for viola da gamba
This arrangement is performed on piccolo clarinet in Eb, played in A minor, sounding in C minor, however it can be played on any clarinet. The arrangement appears in three versions: 1) for clarinet to low E, 2) for clarinet to low Eb and 3) for clarinet to low C. They are available as one self-contained PDF incl. an introduction, overview of movements and keys, and the scan of Telemann’s original copper press score. They are available from my website, www.richardehaynes.com.
As the original work was written for a polyphonic instrument, some adjustments have been made for the clarinet, essentially a monophonic instrument. However, the viola da gamba and the clarinet both have a large range of over three octaves, which is fully utilised in this music.

Sopranino Clarinet?
Thanks for your comment. The sop/alt/tenor/bass nomenclature is problematic for clarinets. I know in North America the Eb clarinet is fondly referred to as a soprano clarinet (please correct me if I’m wrong!) but the Bb and A clarinets are already soprano instruments. It would be misleading to call them mezzo-soprano clarinets, if one wanted to place them distinctly between Eb piccolo and Eb alto clarinets. If we look at the saxophones for a second, they’ve got a soprano in Bb, a sopranino in high Eb and a soprillo in high Bb, however they have far fewer instruments in the family than clarinets do so these distinctions are clearer. I feel that referring to clarinets higher than C (i.e. clarinets in D, Eb, G and Ab) as piccolo clarinets in their respective "key" is a clear way to go about it rather than possibly confusing people by using the vocal range-type nomenclature. Anyway, the clarinet has such a huge range that all clarinets are often set in multiple tessituras over the course of a work.
Eb (micro) Clarinet?
Yes, as specified in the video and its description, it’s an Eb piccolo clarinet. I don’t think anyone uses the term micro, but if you want micro, check out the video of the 1st Fantasia played on Ab piccolo clarinet. That’s really small, and high.
