A commission by a consortium of orchestras led to Leshnoff's first Violin Concerto. For its premiere by the Columbus Symphony (Markand Thakar, conducting), Leshnoff consulted soloist Charles Wetherbee, after which the Concerto underwent extensive rewrite. This revised version would lead to standing ovations and critical acclaim. As Wetherbee has noted, From the first time I heard Jonathan's music, I felt there was something in it that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. It feels like it's coming from the heart. Violin Concerto No. 1 is recorded on the Naxos all-Leshnoff album with Distant Reflections.

F.A. Rosler (Antonio Rosetti), a Bohemian by birth, worked as court music director in Ludwigslust/Mecklenburg. He wrote 14 flute concertos altogether the most important of which is the concerto G major, Op. 14. The expanded head movement combines the sonata form with the ritornello technique of the concerto grosso. Right at the beginning, the basses of the Mannheimer-Walzermotiv make it clear that Rosler knows how to use effectively the orchestral technique of his time. Despite all motivic and thematic as well as harmonic abundance, -Rosler achieves in this concerto an almost natural musical unity.

It was the Weihnachtskonzert (Christmas concerto) in C major that won special popularity continuing a tradition which was cultivated by Corelli with his pastoral at the end of Op. 6 No. 8 or by Torelli in his Op. 8 No. 6 and reaching to the pastoral in Handel's Messiahs and to the sinfonia in the second cantata of Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas oratorium. This, finally, originates from the music-making of shepherds - coming from the Abruzzi and from Calabria to Rome at Christmas to play the shawm and the bagpipes in front of the cribs. Hence the popular consecutive thirds and the sustained bass tones characterizing the first Largo, a genuine siciliano in the rocking, typically dotted 12/8 time.

Full Score. Composed by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. Edited by Hugo Ruf. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Concertino (Chamber Orchestra). Classical. Score. Op. 34/6. 24 pages. Duration 6'. Schott Music #CON 31. Published by Schott Music (HL.49001983).

Boismortier is considered to be one of the most popular and most hard-working composers of his time. The original title of this sonata in A Minor indicates flutes, violins and other instruments as well suited for performance. The composer arranged the first melody part in such a way that it can be played by an alto recorder without any changes. Scored for string chorus, the sonata achieves a very good tonal effect. With soloistic scoring, three equal instruments (e.g. three violins) or three completely different instruments (e.g. flute, violin, oboe) are best suited for the performance of the upper parts.
