Musikalischer Salon Sinnesfreudigkeit

In the organizer's words:

Georg Philipp Telemann traveled to Paris in 1737 at the invitation of several instrumental virtuosos. He had with him the first six of his "12 Paris Quartets", which had already been written in Hamburg in 1730 but were revised for the trip. While the figuring of the bass was initially kept sparse and rational, the version adapted to French taste demonstrates more sensuality with many dissonances, suspensions and chord inversions. The fourth of Bach's trio sonatas for organ is based on motifs from his earlier cantata "Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes" (The heavens tell the glory of God) and is about the conversion of man to God. Finally, the antithetical nature of the Baroque period also allows the poetry of the time to blossom in sonnets, songs and odes by Martin Opitz and Andreas Gryphius.
