I just stumbled across the Telemann biography at HOASM: http://www.hoasm.org/XIA/XIATelemann.html It says: .."by the age of 10 he had teamed to play the violin, the flute, the zither, and keyboard instruments.".. No sources are quoted. Does anybody know anything about this? Frank Nordberg
I suppose a cittern is more likely than a scheitolt-type instrument? There are known connections with Telemann and the mandora, and with duet arrangements for 11-course D-minor lute, but it would be interesting to find a cittern connection.
