Telemann: Concerto for 4 Violins Without Bass, TWV 40:202

Description

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. This concerto is a fascinating work in which the diversity of the melodic parts produces an abundance of striking sound effects.
