You know in the baroque, Telemann used to engrave some of his
own music. Watching this video, I wonder
where the man found the time to actually *learn* how to do it, then
compose his music, teach students, keep his
marriage going, and raise children.
In the 18th c., all businesses were family businesses, and everyone in
the family contributed. It is a virtual certainty that Telemann had his
wife and kids doing a lot of the scutwork. They may actually have done
all the actual engraving! There are plenty of examples of engravers who
died, whereupon the wife took over the business without a break.
Telemann probably learned the necessary skills during his youth, by
watching and imitating.
