A famous piece by Georg Philipp Telemann. Popular classical music.

Let me introduce Georg Philipp Telemann, a German Baroque composer who holds a Guinness World Record and is synonymous with the dining-music style Tafelmusik.

Telemann is said to have composed over 4,000 works and left behind many masterpieces.

Though active in Germany, he was also popular in France.

Telemann himself was a superb musician who played many instruments, including the violin, organ, harpsichord, recorder, and lute, and he was such a master that top-tier musicians invited him to perform with them.

It is very difficult to choose from among Telemann’s many great works, but I have selected some representative masterpieces and outstanding performances, and I hope you will give them a listen.
