The Paris Quartets

Album by Georg Philipp Telemann & American Baroque

The Paris Quartets are a set of chamber works by German composer Georg Philipp Telemann, published in 1730. The quartets blend French dance rhythms and galant melodic writing with German contrapuntal textures and idiomatic parts for strings and winds, reflecting Telemann's engagement with Parisian tastes and his role in mid-18th-century stylistic exchange.
