{"product_id":"georg-philipp-telemann-quadri","title":"Georg Philipp Telemann: Quadri","description":"The quartets featured on this CD belong to the first collection of quartets that Telemann  wrote in Hamburg in 1730, in anticipation of a trip to Paris (which he would only make  in the autumn of 1737, staying in the French capital for eight months), invited by four  important French musicians: the flautist Michel Blavet, the violinist Jean-Pierre Guignon,  the gambist Jean-Baptiste Forqueray and a cellist and harpsichordist named Prince  �douard. The collection was published in 1730 and contributed significantly to the  spread of the composer's fame throughout Europe, particularly in France (so much so  that it was reprinted by the Parisian publisher Le Clerc in 1736); it includes six quartets,  and was published under the Italian title Quadri a violino, flauto traversiere, viola di  gamba o violoncello, e fondamento: ripartiti in 2. concerti, 2. balletti, 2. sonate. The six  Quadri constitute a r�union des go�ts, as they incorporate diverse national styles. Although  traces of the \"German style\" can be detected in each of them, the French style  clearly prevails in the suites, while the Italian style dominates the sonatas.","brand":"Stradivarius","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46012436873450,"sku":"8011570373380","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4478818-3499605.jpg?v=1778218327","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/georg-philipp-telemann-quadri","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
