Product description
The book contains seven wind parthias for this edition that are based mostly on parthias found in Czech castle archives. They are written for chamber instrumentation of two oboes, two French horns, one or two bassoons and therefore they present the most common type of wind harmony. In some of the compositions, the two bassoons do not play duet often, which suggests that both instruments played unison mostly; a similar thing is known from the Baroque orchestra where bassoon parts are part of basso continuo and they were often doubled or even multiplied.
Jan Křtitel Vaňhal (1739 -1813) was a Czech composer and versatile musician who mastered playing several instruments, playing string and wind instruments, organ, piano and harpsichord. During his lifetime, Jan Křtitel Vaňhal was one of the most popular and admired authors. In later life he taught music and became a sought-after piano teacher. His piano compositions are still popular and used pedagogical material. During his lifetime, Vaňhal composed a large number of spiritual and secular compositions, orchestral and chamber compositions, compositions for keyboard instruments, serenades and songs.
