This
set of four works, all in
minor keys, is unique for
the energy of the fugal
writing, the passionate
chromaticism of the slow
movements and the
playful, asymmetrical
phrasing of the final
Minuets. The scoring
leaves open a range of
performance
possibilities, from one
to a part with or without
continuo (following the
varying density of
figured bass and the
instruction senza
cembalo) to orchestral
performance as suggested
by the English Concerto
arrangements.
