Florian Leopold Gassmann

Melodic inventiveness, contrapuntal texture, structural clarity, and imaginative rhythmic organization characterize the engaging oboe quartets, string trios, and string quartets selected for this edition. Gassmann's divertimenti occupy an important position in the evolving Classical chamber style and show why he was so greatly admired by his Viennese contemporaries.
