Telemann: Concerto for 4 violins (TWV 40:201)

[Martin Jonas]

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767): Concerto à 4 violini No. 1 (TWV 40:201)
1. Largo e staccato

This is the opening largo from Telemann's Concerto For 4 Violins in G Major, played on four mandolins. As the movement is marked "largo e staccato", it transfers to mandolins pretty well. Each violin in turn has a melodic legato phrase, which I play tremolo.

The score is at IMSLP:

Good job Martin !

Here is my rather more 'mechanical' sequenced version of the whole concerto. I simply tanscribed it with no alteration other than the addition of tremolo (especially in the 3rd movement) and a few more dynamic marks.
