J.F. Fasch - FWV.K.g2;1 - Ouverture Suite in G minor - Paul Dombrecht

Johann Friedrich Fasch (15 April 1688 - 5 December 1758) was a German violinist and composer. Much of his music is in the Baroque-Classical transitional style known as galant.
The works of Fasch, in manuscript, are dispersed among numerous libraries throughout Europe. He is credited with at least one Passion, 14 Masses, 2 Credo, 4 Psalms, some 100 Church Cantatas, 4 Serenades, 4 Operas, plus a quantity of concertos, overtures, sonatas and symphonies. Though Fasch belongs time-wise firmly in the baroque period, his lifespan closely paralleling that of the great baroque master JS Bach, one may wonder on listening to a cross-section of his works which member of the Bach family his music most resembles, that of father Johann Sebastian, of baroque-inclined son Wilhelm Friedemann, or the forward-looking Carl Philipp Emanuel. The interesting fact is that the repertoire of Fasch, perhaps more than that of any other baroque composer, marks the transition from baroque to roccoco or early classical. He was an initiator, marking and developing the breakdown of the mold of the fugal style in favour of a form of thematic development from which romantic writing was to emerge. He died on December 5, 1758, in Zerbst, leaving the legacy of an extremely engaging musician.
