Overture Symphonies

The young Johann Friedrich Fasch quickly numbered among Telemann's admirers; even later he always remained true to his model Telemann. Fasch developed into a composer delighting very much in carefully elaborated innovation, above all in the field of instrumental music. This fact is impressively demonstrated by his compositional contributions to the overture suite, concerto, symphony, and sonata genres; it was also this progressiveness that enthused music scholars - (above all Hugo Riemann already in 1900) that has continued to fascinate musicians and musicologists through to the present.
