Georg Philipp Telemann - Concerto polonois, TWV 43:G7 (c. 1725)

Georg Philipp Telemann (24 March [O.S. 14 March] 1681 - 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the five main churches.

Nicely done but too many unwritten malismas for my taste.

[@bartjebartmans]

You mean melismas. But what is your point exactly?

[@richardwebb2348]

FYI: Melisma is the musical art of creating a run of many notes from one syllable. Concerto polonois would appear to be free of syllables - just the notes Telemann composed.

[@sameash3153]

You mean ornaments/embellishments. It was common practice to not play exactly as written: that is a modern tradition that thankfully has been corrected by historical practice.

Someone must've missed the Baroque unit in music appreciation class.
