Telemann's music was one of the driving forces behind the late Baroque and early Classical styles. His music gradually changed over the years incorporating more and more elements of the galant style, however he never completely adopted the ideals of the early Classical Period. Telemann's style remained contrapuntally and harmonically intricate, and already in 1751 he dismissed much contemporary music as too simplistic. One can hear examples on this recording where the piece begins sounding almost Haydn-like and then gradually becomes more densely polyphonic and complex.
