Divertimento for Winds in B-flat major op. 344

This divertimento was written between January 17th and 24th, 2015 in Naples. It employs 2 oboes, 2 bassoons and 2 natural horns in B-flat Alto, that is of the high register, because there are also horns in B-flat basso, which sound an octave below the alto one. The style employed is of the middle classical period and the fist movement, the Allegro molto is in sonata form, whereas the other movements are an Andantino in binary structure, Minuetto and Trio and a Rondò as last movement.

The timings next to the movements correspond to the ones in the video, where each movement occurs

I. Allegro molto..................0:16
II. Andantino......................6:09
III. Menuetto e Trio............8:20
IV. Presto........................11:28

Total command of writing! A work that deserves to be played in pair with the similar pieces by Reicha, Blasius and other Harmoniemusik people.
