    Telemann was too rule-bound for the generation that followed him. Handel was a showman, Vivaldi had those great Italian strings, and Bach was still semi-obscure. Telemann exemplified the music of his age – and there’s nothing the iconoclasts hate more than something that exemplifies its age.Report

      All good points. Vivaldi also had the advantage of often being so fun and catchy that he was (a) hard to resist and (b) easy to enjoy while still dismissing Baroque as shallow.

      Here is another Telemann pieces I love. Both come from an album my brother and I got my Dad for his birthday, long ago.
