What about Telemann
on: July 24, 2005, 04:33:00 AM
This is similar to the Scarlatti thread, except for the fact that the one who posted this is not an expert in Tellemann.

All I have played are his fantasias...

What other important piano music has he written?

The history books always play him up as the composer who was loved more than Bach in thier day....with history vindicating Bach.

They almost make it sound like Telemann was a far worse composer. I don't think he was a better composer, but I really like what I have played so far, and would like to learn more about this interesting composer.
