Yes, and other researchers are proving this point with studies of Telemann's manuscripts in both Hamburg and Frankfurt. Dr. Jeanne Swack has a large monograph* due out shorly with Cambridge University Press supporting Rifkin's theory, using the Telemann cantata materials in Frankfurt as supportive evidence. I can also tell you from what I've seen of the Graupner materials, there's a lot of evidence to support Rifkin's theory as well. This specific cantata I mentioned earlier was performed by no more than 3 singers!
