| Description |
Disbound. Decoratively bordered title-page. Engraved. "Schwindl’s instrumental music enjoyed wide circulation, especially between the 1760s and 80s, when his symphonies and chamber works appeared in numerous publications. Records of performance also attest the popularity of his music: in Paris, the Concert Spirituel of 5 April 1767 began with a performance of one of his symphonies; a concert given at Nymphenburg (near Munich) during the summer of 1772 not only opened with two symphonies by Schwindl, but also included a performance of one of his trios, with the elector playing the bass viol; and a programme that began with Schwindl’s ‘Overture 1st’ was presented by Josiah Flagg in Boston on 17 May 1771" (New Grove). Burney found Schwindl "well known in the musical world, by his admirable compositions for violins, which are full of taste, grace, and effects" when he met him in the Hague in 1770. |
