Telemann

Telemann was, even more than Handel, a painter in music, and was more celebrated than Handel for his realistic effects.

Later on it was set to music again by two of Handel's former friends, first by Telemann, and then by Mattheson.

Telemann appears to have been a keen gardener, and had evidently asked Handel to send him some rare plants.

About this time he became conductor of the Musical Union, which had been founded by Telemann, but even here troubles arose.

A guess may be hazarded that he obtained them through his old friend Telemann at Hamburg.
