George Philippe Telemann was a prolific German Baroque composer who wrote more than 3,000 compositions using diverse European national styles. A self-taught composer, he originally studied law but later took up music as his profession. His instrumental works were very popular among both professional and amateur musicians both in his time and present days. He wrote for numerous instruments and self-taught himself to play the flute, oboe, recorder, violin, viola da gamba, and other instruments. The Sonata in F major, TWV42:F1 is from his six trio sonatas published in Frankfurt in 1718.
