The court orchestra of Dresden had fallen into decline in the early eighteenth century, but its swift revival began in 1718 with the wedding preparations for the electoral prince, Frederick August II, and Maria Josepha of Austria, the daughter of the Hapsburg emperor. Musicians from Italy, France, and other courts in Germany were appointed to the Hofkapelle, and in the years following the wedding, the ensemble flourished and was held in high esteem throughout Europe. Many composers from Dresden, elsewhere in Germany, and beyond wrote works for the Dresden orchestra—as well as works for other orchestras in the Dresden style, thus reinforcing the artistic renown of the ensemble.
Johann Georg Pisendel’s Concerto da camera in B-flat Major is filled with invention and motivic connection, and it demonstrates the composer’s almost unreserved will to create. It is a “German” concerto, not for amateurs, but for experts—and quite certainly for expert violinists!
I. Allegro
