About this item
This fascinating work is a clear example of why Telemann is considered a master of Baroque string music and will provide great skill development! First, the opening Grave calls for a sustained dark and brooding tone, then, the bright and vibrant Allegro will bring out their precision playing of the fast notes, with some third position for your first violins! It’s enough activity to almost leave you breathless! From the vigorous bowing, dramatic dynamics, and his occasional use of a daring harmony, Telemann shows his unique style as separate from Bach and Handel. It is music strings love to play and audiences love to hear!

Composer
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
Georg Philipp Telemann (14 March 1681 – 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Żary, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches.
