Product Description
Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688 1758) was a contemporary of
J.S. Bach and Georg F. Handel and considered one of the top German composers
during his time.
This work has four movements (Vivace-Grave-Fuge-Presto). It
was originally for strings and basso continuo; the music is well-crafted and has
both a flavor of restraint and seriousness, as well as humor and joy. The Fuge movement
is especially enjoyable.
It is a refreshing addition to the repertoire for string
quartet ensembles who perform at ceremonies, receptions, and other social events.
Performance time is about 10 minutes with repeats. The final
Presto can be played as a trio (violin, viola, cello).
Mvt. 1 - Vivace
Mvt. 2 Grave (2:10 in MIDI recording)
iMvt. 3 Fuge (3:50 on MIDI recording)
Mvt. 4 Presto (6:46 in MIDI recording)
This arrangement for string quartet was made at the request
of the Hildegard String Quartet in Vermont. As professional musicians who
perform for weddings and special occasions, they require high-quality
arrangements that capture the full sound, color, and texture of the original
work. The layout of the printed parts is designed to limited page turns and
provide an ease of reading.
