Georg Philipp Telemann came from an affluent but unmusical family. Though he showed earlypromise as a performer and composer, his mother had other ideas and tried to discouragehim by confiscating all his musical instruments. As a law student in Leipzig, however, he becameincreasingly involved in ‘extra-curricular’ musical activities. He composed a cantata every two weeksand had written four operas by the time he gave in totally to his real passion. Fame and fortunein a creative artist’s lifetime do not necessarily presage the judgement of posterity. ThroughoutGermany Telemann basked in the sunshine of success, far eclipsing his contemporary colleague andoccasional competitor Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1722 he was chosen by the city fathers of Leipzigfor the position of Kantor at the St.Thomas Choir School; Bach was approached and secured thisposition only after Telemann had turned the offer down. When City Councillor Platz announcedthe appointment of Bach as Kantor for the churches in Leipzig in 1723, his pronouncement stated,“Since the best man could not be obtained, mediocre ones would have to be accepted.” Telemannhad no intention of going to Leipzig. He simply used the offer to improve his bargaining positionat Hamburg, where he established himself as Kantor of the five main churches in the city andultimately as Director of the Hamburg Opera (an unheard of combination that annoyed the cityfathers). He remained in Hamburg until his death in 1767
