Tafelmusik significant composers of "Tafelmusik" included Johann Schein, whose "Banchetto musicale" of 1617 acquired considerable fame, and Michael Praetorius, who wrote about the phenomenon of "Tafelmusik" in his "Syntagma musicum" of 1619. Music from Schein's collection is still performed by early music ensembles with some regularity. The "Tafelmusik" or "Musique de Table" by the Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann is perhaps his most celebrated collection of music. Composed in 1733, Telemann's "Tafelmusik" has been compared as a collection to the renowned Brandenburg concertos of Johann Sebastian Bach in clearly demonstrating the composer’s supreme skill in handling a diversity of musical genres
Horn Concertos (Mozart) Horn Concertos (Mozart) The Horn Concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were written for his friend Joseph Leutgeb whom he had known since childhood. Leutgeb was a skilled player, as the works are very difficult to perform on the natural horn of the period, requiring lip trills, much hand-stopping, and rapid tonguing. In addition to the four works listed above, there are two incomplete concerto movements, K. 370b and the Concert Rondo, K. 371, both from 1781 and both in E-flat major, and a 91-bar fragment of the first movement for a concerto in E major (K. 494a), written in 1785
