From the Publisher
The timpani player, composer and publisher Georg Druschetzky (1745 - 1819), born in Bohemia and active mainly in Austria and Hungary, left behind an extensive compositional work, of which hardly anything was published during his lifetime. Most of his works are written for wind instruments and demonstrate astonishing compositional skill, as does the present quartet. The 1st movement begins with a slow introduction, the 2nd movement, unusual for the time, consists of variations on B-A-C-H, the 3rd movement is lively and virtuosic. This new edition represents a real enrichment of the oboe string literature.
Performance duration (approx): 60
