String Quartet Cello,String Quartet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.723157 Composed by Georg Philipp Telemann. Arranged by Joel Jacklich (ASCAP). Baroque,Concert. Score and parts. 19 pages. Joel Jacklich #5363175. Published by Joel Jacklich (A0.723157). Georg Philipp Telemann wrote four concerti for four violins unaccompanied, his TWV 40:201-204. Here is the first concerto in G major arranged for four violoncelli by Joel Jacklich (A.S.C.A.P.). This arrangement is an octave below the original violin work. Taking the key down an octave and a fifth to accommodate the same parallel open strings as the violins made the range too low (very playable; however, very muddy). Therefore, I have used the same key as the violin, taking it down only an octave. This gives a much more pleasing sound, but makes the upper range notes much more difficult, going up to a D5, requiring the use of tenor and treble clefs. It is therefore listed as an advanced piece.
