Ensemble

The duos are worth studying for their brilliant technical playing, as they need not fear comparison with the duos of the same instrumentation by a Carl Stamitz, Franz Danzi and Wenzel Pichl.

In this Duetto, the double bass is so high that it can be performed comfortably on a violoncello or viola da gamba. Unlike in three of Sperger's other sonatas, the viola here is completely equal.

Bazzini's 5 quartets, written in classical formal rigor and coupled with the romanticizing 'Italianita', still indulge in virtuoso attitude, with modest technical playing requirements.
