Hey, hey, hey!!! We all have our likes/dislikes; personally - I try to remember to keep a wide and OPEN range of perception - and as well an historic realization to my listening. Sure, I'm more engaged and enthralled by (say) Bartok than Wagenseil, but there's much to enjoy in Wagenseil - and especially when keeping his place in the development of musical language in mind. Sure, the symphonies with few exceptions are - perhaps inconsequential, but the harp and trombone concerti are certainly well worth the time! Was he an original - a revolutionary? Course not. But neither were the majority of most composers I find I can enjoy. But a lack of a forward-thinking compositional voice doesn't necessarily equate = boring!
Now Vivaldi...... ....ahem: where's that spider hole of mine? Best, Les Les Marsden Founding Music Director and Conductor, The Mariposa Symphony Orchestra Music and Mariposa?
