Telemann and his friends in Paris

Telemann and his friends in Paris

In 1737, Telemann visited Paris at the invitation of some of the greatest musicians in France: the flautist Michel Blavet, violinist Jean-Pierre Guignon, and gambist Jean-Baptiste Forqueray.

To celebrate his visit, Telemann composed two sets of “Paris Quartets.” These twelve pieces were performed by these musicians and Telemann himself, making friends and making music.
