This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features the original classical wind-band music of Adalbert Gyrowetz, a Bohemian composer who lived from 1763 to 1850. In addition to composing more than 60 symphonies, numerous operas, about 60 string quartets, and numerous other works, he was friends with Mozart, Haydn’s interpreter when Haydn visited London, and one of Beethoven’s pallbearers. He also wrote harmoniemusik, music for the wind-band of the classical era, typically consisting of two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, and two horns, which is the instrumentation of his Partita in D Major performed by the Collegium Musicum Prague on today’s edition.
