Concerto for Four Violins without Basso continuo in D major (TWV 40:202) (Score & Parts)

Telemann Concerto for Four Violins without Basso continuo in D major (TWV 40:202) (Score & Parts)

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.
