Georg Philipp Telemann

About

Georg Philipp Telemann (24 March 1681 – 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. He is among the most prolific composers in history in terms of surviving works. During his lifetime, Telemann was regarded as one of the leading German composers and was favourably compared to both Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel, whom he knew personally. Bach named his son Carl Philipp Emanuel after Telemann, who was also the child's godfather.
