Description

Concerto No.2 in D major is from a set of four concertos for violin quartet without continuo and transcribes beautifully for the intermediate double bass quartet. The four contrasting movements (Adagio-Allegro-Grave-Allegro) feature lively melodies and intricate counterpoint with the melodic material shared equally between the four players. Highlighting the interplay between the basses, the concerto has been described as “showcasing Telemann’s ingenuity and the vibrant musical language of the Baroque era.” Concerto No.2 in D major would be an excellent concert opener or closer with effective musical and technical challenges for each player.
