"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Telemann tends now to be overshadowed by his contemporaries Bach and Handel. But he produced perhaps the largest body of music of any composer, in virtually every genre, with the goal of bringing music of the highest calibre to the general public. Bach had to write for his patrons. Telemann wrote for his audience.
