Music

Telemann uses the story's occasions for humorous effects, including elements from the opera seria, to characterize the noble people, as well as folk music for the peasants.Шаблон:Sfn Sancho Pansa is wittily portrayed, for example by "athletic leaps" in his recollection of earlier episode. The choruses often take instrumental and rhythmic ideas from Spanish folk music.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A reviewer notes: Шаблон:Quote
