Telemann Concerto in A TWV 40:204 for 4 Violins

Understood — no changes needed to those two. Here's the violin edition:

Telemann: Concerto in A, TWV 40:204 — New Edition (Four Violins)

Telemann's Concerto in A, TWV 40:204 was written for four melody instruments without a continuo part — each voice is genuinely independent, and the harmonic texture is entirely self-contained. This is a newly engraved edition of the original four-violin score, with clean, well-spaced parts that are straightforward to read and annotate.

The piece sits at around Grade 7. The first movement introduces double stopping, which is the most immediately challenging element. The remaining movements ask for the kind of playing that defines Baroque chamber music at this level: clean articulation, controlled bow strokes, and left-hand technique agile enough to manage the melodic lines with accuracy and consistency. Since each of the four parts carries independent melodic material, there is nowhere to hide in the texture — every player needs to be secure.

At seven minutes across its movements, it's a substantial piece for a violin quartet programme.

Teachers will find it a useful vehicle for developing bow control and left-hand technique in a musical context.
