Talk:Georg Philipp Telemann
From Academic Kids
Telemann deserves more that the pathetic little stub I found.....
I've temporarily removed this:
- Telemann turned down a prestigious job for a better payed job. The result: Bach got the job Telemann turned down.
This may well be true, but it seems pretty useless in its present form. I'll look into it, and if I can verify it, and turn it into something a bit more useful, I'll add it. --Camembert
- Telemann and Bach both applied for the job as music director in Leipzig, and Telemann was offered and declined the position, which then was given to Bach (so Bach was the second choice, which I guess may show the contemporary view of the importance of these composers). This info can be found in the bio section I added a few days ago. Bobhobbit 21:22, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
