Concerto in D Major TWV 40:202

This miniature concerto in 4 movements, originally written for four solo violins, translates beautifully onto guitar and demonstrates Telemann’s gift for variety and invention.

Both highly entertaining to listen to and a pleasurable to play, it’s the kind of music that engenders practice, therefore, useful as teaching material and concert repertoire.

Writing is shared equally amongst the parts meaning every player gets to take on the roles of melody, accompaniment and bass.

The arrangement sounds great with one player per part or played by a larger ensemble.
