maleComposerDEGeorg Philipp Telemann belongs to the most important Composers in the 18th century. As composer, publisher, concert organiser and academic he set the norm for the modern music- and intelectual world of his time.
Georg Philipp Telemann wrote so much music indeed, and his compositions enjoy as much popularity as Vivaldi's (sometimes even finding use as «Musak»), so it doesn't come as a surprise if one or another piece for gamba or cello is being arranged for violists.
