Sumario:The article presents information about music composer Georg Philipp Telemann. More successful in the marketplace for printed music than any of his German colleagues, Telemann brought out forty-six entirely new publications of his own works at Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Paris between 1715 and 1739.
