Telemann – Concerto for four Violins
Georg Philipp Telemann
D major TWV 40:202
Few composers knew better than Georg Philipp Telemann how to satisfy the needs of musicians in their works. Telemann’s compositions for unusual scorings – like this concerto for four violins without basso continuo – were probably written for special occasions or at the request of friends. The present concerto is a fascinating work in which the diversity of the melodic parts produces an abundance of striking sound effects.
