Telemann's Der getreue Music-Meister was the first music journal published in Germany, appearing every two weeks with four pages of densely engraved music.
Composition History
Telemann's Essercizii musici, a collection of instrumental works, included the first printed chamber works with an obbligato harpsichord role, similar to J.S. Bach's trios.
