Georg Philipp Telemann died of lung desease age 86 in June 1767. Very touching is the letter by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach to grandson Georg Michael Telemann who not only admired his godfather, but studied his music more than anybody else ever, showing this in every measure of every work he composed! Telemann's influence is obvious, long after, with Josef and Michael Haydn, Mozart, Van Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, ... Telemann's manuscripts show many hands going through them ...

Shortly before his death, he wrote his Last Passion(Die Letzte Passion TVWV 5:52 on CD Capella Aurora - AAL RECORDS 1996 - World Premiere) - a musical prophecy to the coming world. The duet 'Jesus & The Sinner' is breathtaking, the most beautiful air ever written!
