Ouverture a 7 concertanti F major ZWV 188 - Jan Dismas Zelenka (edited by Václav Luks)
Ouverture F major is one of the best known orchestral pieces by J. D. Zelenka (1679 - 1745). It was most probably written together with another five orchestral pieces during author's visit in Prague on the occasion of court festivities for the coronation of the Emperor Charles VI in 1723.
The note on the front page of the manuscript score "a Praga 1723" proves the fact. The manuscript can be found at the Saxon State Library in Dresden and it presents a major source of this critical edition volume. Though it was badly damaged and the legibility of this autographic manuscript was poor we aimed to release an authentic version of the piece keeping all the peculiarities of Zelenka's musical language. Ouverture a 7 concertanti F major represents the fifth volume of Thesaurus Antiquae Musicae historical series.
