Ouverture g minor FWV K: g 5 - Johann Friedrich Fasch (edited by Václav Luks)
Ouverture g minor by Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688 - 1758), a representative of supreme baroque instrumental music and Bach's contemporary, was released as the fourth volume of the historical series Thesaurus Antiquae Musicae.
The complexity of the volume required creating a critical edition referring to the two preserved sources available at the Saxon State Library in Dresden, one of which is the author's manuscript. Ouverture was written in a traditional suite form - a French ouverture followed by dance movements. In reference to its music language that is marked by an orchestral virtuosity and rich sound colour we can presume that the piece was written directly for the Dresden Orchestra - one of the best orchestras of its time that Fasch kept close contacts with for all his life.
