Sorry about the misfire ;) I enjoy other sinfonias from the same period or earlier (for example Stamitz or any of the composers from Mannheim). And as I pointed out earlier, Graupner's sinfonias are much more engaging to listen to. And apparently his composition of the symphony was an outgrowth of the Ouverture form (i.e. "Table Music"). So the format or the reason why the music was composed doesn't explain the inconsistency in quailty.
BTW: I don't think Wagenseil or Monn are bad composers. Thanks for an engaging thread ;) Kim Patrick Clow _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
