Georg Philipp Telemann (24 March [O.S. 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, Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the five main churches. • Concerto for Two Violas TWV 52:G3 (c. 1740) • Copyist Johann Samuel Endler (1694-1762) • 1. Lent • 2. Gai (1:46) • 3. Large (3:35) • 4. Vif (4:50) • Reinhard Goebel, Viola I Florian Deuter, Viola II • Musica Antiqua Köln conducted by Reinhard Goebel • Telemann was famous for writing concertos for various instruments and at the time the viola was not a popular instrument for a concerto because it was considered an English instrument, thus unfashionable. However, Telemann was a viola player himself, and wrote for the instrument. One of his most famous concertos was viola in G major TWV 51:G9.
