Summary of This Score
This score highlights the flautello (soprano recorder) in an elegant dialogue with the strings: two violins provide brilliance and relief, the viola enriches the harmony, while the cello anchors the bass line and pulse. Conceived as a piece of entertainment music, it emphasizes the pleasure of ensemble playing, lively exchanges, and a writing style that values expressiveness without heaviness. Its interest is also musicological: at a time (around 1780) when the recorder was becoming less prominent, this work constitutes a rare late testimony of the repertoire, ideal for enriching a classical chamber music program with a unique instrumental color. The edition established by Dr. Konrad Ruhland aims for smooth practice both in rehearsal and concert, offering a neat and coherent presentation for performers.
