The real question is: \u201cWhere does this compulsion to draw up hierarchies, one-dimensional classifications, when dealing with artistic creation or esthetic pleasure, come from?\u201d It would not occur to us, today, to compare, say, Raphael with Michelangelo in this way. And as Romain Rolland already wrote, in 1909: \u201cIt\u2019s not the case that there is only one correct style per century. Let our hearts be big enough to love all that is beautiful: Pergolesi and Rameau, Beethoven and Rossini.\u201d So let us grant Telemann his due place; there is no need to denigrate this marvellous musician in order to assure lasting glory for Bach.<br \/>\nBoth composers\u2014who knew and esteemed each other\u2014had a profound understanding of the instruments, styles, and musical genres of their time. But what emerges from their respective works are two totally different and essentially conflicting concepts of the art of sound. They are both so unique as to be\u2014despite the subtitle of this text\u2014incomparable!<br \/>\nWe can begin by noting that both Bach and Telemann followed very similar professional careers; the former\u2019s posts, however, were much less prestigious than the latter\u2019s. Both were more or less self taught; both spent the first half of their lives in various courts and cities of central and northern Germany; and, unlike Handel, neither ever visited Italy, then the Mecca for music and musicians. Both settled down around 1720 and, for the rest of their days, worked for a municipal council\u2014Bach in Leipzig, Telemann in Hamburg\u2014composing, as part of their official duties, cantatas and oratorios. Finally, both made important journeys at an advanced age\u2014Bach to Berlin, Telemann to Paris.

The last representative of the great contrapuntal school founded by the Franco-Flemish composers of the 15th and 16th centuries, his kingdom, one might say, was not of this world. He lived in his own interior universe, one pervaded by his steadfast faith. He was preoccupied to the point of mania by numerology and symbolism. Though the impact of these ideas on his music is imperceptible to an ordinary listener\u2014God, though, discerns them\u2014he constructed worlds charged with more or less esoteric meaning, recreating the harmony of the spheres, and did so with an<br \/>\nextraordinarily expressive sense of melody. Bach\u2019s vision is cosmic and theological: he aims to unite human beings with God by means of music, by means of the mysterious powers of ars combinatoria.

He watched with mistrust as his sons ventured to write in the nascent Classical style, forms then still untested by time. And, we should add that, as a music teacher, Bach wanted to train specialists, virtuosos, what today we would call professionals. This is the goal of all the didactic masterpieces he wrote for his sons and numerous students.<br \/>\nTelemann, for his part, was very much a man of the world, always enthusiastic, constantly renewing himself. \u201cUntil his last days,\u201d according to Gilles Cantagrel, \u201che remained deeply engaged in active<br \/>\nlife and participated in the evolution of contemporary music.\u201d He aimed to please, to seduce, and he succeeded in doing so without being either base or precious. The goal of all his tireless activity was,<br \/>\nby encouraging people to listen to and play music, to bring them together. He was not interested in training specialists. Rather, he targeted competent and discerning amateurs, helping them communicate and converse by means of the art of sound. Bach\u2019s vision was metaphysical, Telemann\u2019s humanistic. While the former contemplated divine mysteries and the elevation of the soul, the latter<br \/>\nencouraged individual expression and collective participation.
