Antonio Rosetti - Sinfonia di Caccia

[@ericleiter6179]

These Rosetti videos have been a lot of fun...a very underrated composer who was obviously neck in neck with the harmonic and melodic subtleties of his contemporaries...I think Beethoven even pinched an idea or two from him

[@johns.4708]

Fine composer paired with a fine performance... lots of ka-POW. More please.

[@kofiLjunggren]

Just brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing this relatively unknown composer

Звучит так свежо для периода становления симфонического цикла

The part writing is better than that of Haydn.

Have you listened to much Haydn? I do not agree.

[@christianwouters6764]

@@gtbaker1 Yes I did. Of course H was a much more versatile and inventive composer. But looking at the scores it can be noticed that his part writing and orchestration was often rather simple. He himself knew this: at the end of his life he said "now I have just learned writing for wind instruments from Mozart my life comes to an end"

⁠@@christianwouters6764His part writing and orchestration isn’t overly simple. Taking first hand reports from his time his colleagues and audience/performers disagree with you. There's a reason he gave Beethoven lessons in counterpoint, and was known to have studied and copied out several of his symphonies. Nothing I’m aware of suggests his orchestration was of a lesser quality or overly simple. If you are using just this piece to compare, it doesn’t match up to the same level in my opinion.

@@christianwouters6764 ​take 3 fairly randomly picked symphonies no 15, no 43, no 60. Notice quite a bit more advanced voice leading/part-writing.

@@gtbaker1 Haydn didn’t really master the symphony until towards the very end of his life.

Bellissimo lavoro, che denota come Rosetti fu modello di un altro grande boemo dimenticato... Pavel Wranitzky.
