Seller's Description
| This is an amazing, early masterpiece. It dates probably from between 1790 and 1792. It is full of subtle details, demanding the utmost of the players at the time, the virtuosity always being at the service of expression. The sound-texture is constantly changing, and in this respect WoO 25 resembles the late String Quartets. The writing is at one level with Mozart's masterpieces for the same instruments (2 French horns, 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets and 2 Bassoons), the Serenades KV.375 and 388. In all likelihood, these serenades were the inspiration for our Rondino. A real achievement for a composer so young! The relationship of WoO 25 with the Octet opus 103 (in the same key and for the same instruments, and also dating from the Bonn period) is unclear. It has been suggested that this Rondino once served as finale for the Octet. However, the character and tempo (Andante) of WoO 25 don't seem to make for an appropriate finale. There is a recording of opus 103 by the wind-ensemble Octophorus, which does include WoO 25, not as finale, but as penultimate movement. As the title "Rondino" suggests, it is in Rondo-form: A - B - A - C - A - coda. |

I will also be listing most of the (700+) books on music and musicians. If you are looking for something in particular, it is possible that I have it.
