Georg Philipp Telemann, composer of probably the first viola concerto ever It is probably the first viola concerto ever written, composed between 1716 and 1721 and the only Baroque viola concerto. Its composer, Georg Philip Telemann, was hugely prolific, one of the most prolific among Baroque composers. Contemporary of other great composers, he was born four years before and and died seventeen years after Bach and eight after Handel. Works for viola This concerto is one of the 125 concertos written by him for one or more instruments, in addition to hundreds of other instrumental works, operas and church music. Telemann also wrote some other works of interest for the viola, something unusual in the Baroque time, when the viola was used only for filling the harmonies. His other viola works are: a Concerto for two violas, the Scherzi Melodichi (a collection of trio sonatas for violin, viola and continuo), Polish dances for two violins and viola, 12 Sonatas playable on the viola or viola da gamba (as it was common at that time) and keyboard; other trios for flute or violin or horn or oboe and viola. Instruments in Telemann viola concerto Telemann viola concerto in G major is scored for viola, strings and continuo (2 violins, viola cello, double bass and harpsichord). It could even be performed with only the solo viola and a quartet! In the whole concerto Telemann makes use of the full range of the viola (as it was used at that time), that blends very well with the string orchestra. Movements The concerto is composed of four movements: Largo, Allegro, Andante and Presto. The short first movement opens with the orchestra introducing a quite solemn theme, then the viola repeats the initial part and enlarges and varies it.

Then the viola goes through several keys, accompanied by the orchestra that also dialogues with it, through short theme fragments. After a short cadenza, the movement is concluded by the orchestra. The second movement is obviously very contrasting in mood, an Allegro with an energetic theme, played by the orchestra, built on an arpeggio and repeated notes. The viola repeats only the head of the theme, leaving the strings to complete it, as they did before. Then the viola performs the whole theme, although 'deviating' to C major.

When it seems that the movement has gone back to conclude in the original G major, the viola starts a run of scales followed by even more arpeggios ascending to a high G to finally arrive at the repetition of the theme by the orchestra, exactly as it was exposed at the beginning. The third movement of Telemann viola concerto is the one I find most interesting. It is a melancholic Andante in e minor starting in a way that to me doesn't sound like the beginning of a movement, rather like the conclusion of a phrase (and in fact the movement later ends with exactly the same phrase). The viola then introduces a proper theme, with an interrogative character, to me it seems that the viola is all the time asking questions and the orchestra tries to give some sort of answer. At some point the viola seems to have found an answer to all its questions in the key of G major and the music becomes more relaxed, but only for a short time.
