Perhaps one of the reasons Georg Philipp Telemann's Viola concerto in G major is so popular is the felicitous way in which it bridges the gap between high Baroque style and the style galant that swept through the musical world towards the end of Telemann's life. The light, elegant style galant, of course, was a reaction to what were seen as the. Telemann was a friend of both Handel, with whom he corresponded into his old age, and Bach, and even was godfather to the Bach son who took one of his names, Carl Philipp Emmanuel. (It was C.P.E. Bach who ultimately would succeed Telemann in his Hamburg post after Telemann died in 1767.) But Telemann’s star faded quickly.
