Ignace (Ignaz) Joseph Pleyel: Sinfonia Concertante in F Major for Violin and Piano, Ben.115

For this symphony there are two variants: one for flute, oboe, bassoon, horn, the second (the one posted here) is for violin and piano:
I. Allegro
II. Tempo di Minuetto: Allegro
III. Presto assai
Ignace Joseph Pleyel (18 June 1757 - 14 November 1831)) was an Austrian-born French composer and piano builder of the Classical period.
Pleyel's first professional position may have been as Kapellmeister for Count Erdődy, although this is not known for certain. Among his early publications was a set of six string quartets, his Opus 1.
At one time the pupil - and then the London rival - of Franz Joseph Haydn, Pleyel's reputation rested at least in part on the undemanding character of his music. Pleyel is one instance of the phenomenon of a composer (others include Cherubini, Meyerbeer, and Thalberg) who was very famous in his own time but currently obscure. Keefe (2005) describes a "craze for his music c. 1780-1800", and quotes a number of contemporary witnesses to this surge. For instance François-Joseph Fétis wrote, "What composer ever created more of a craze than Pleyel? Who enjoyed a more universal reputation or a more absolute domination of the field of instrumental music? Over more than twenty years, there was no amateur or professional musician who did not delight in his genius."

Wunderschöner, melodischer Fluß.

Thank you again!

Un "piatto musicale" raffinatissimo e di grande eleganza! La nostra "Chef musicale" Sibarit 101 non sbaglia mai un "piatto" o una "portata" musicale!

Thanks again! I'm glad you're still "feeding" on music in 2024, and the good emotional responses are the same.
I wish you all the best!

PS. It would be that much more savory if seasoned with the Pleyel et Cie. "1830."

PS. Have you listened to the marvelous Masha Dimitrieva on the marvelous "1830"?

@@adamnoman4658I listened to it now. Sincere? I was not impressed.
In my opinion, as a listener, a composer shows his talent by demonstrating his ability to orchestrate, writing music for an orchestra like a true master of orchestration. Otherwise he remains only a good or very good composer/performer for solo recitals or chamber music... in the salons of his employer.

Heavenly composing from this wellknown contemporary from Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. A gadget of those composers is audible.

Clássico, elegante, perfeito!

[@orlandomiglionico7804]

Ogni nota sembra essere dove dovrebbe essere, e per questo Pleyel ha scritto una composizione elegantissima, quasi troppo- di una leggerezza e di una esteriorità cosi disinibite che la sinfonia finisce per essere una specie di parodia involontaria dello stile classico. Meritevole.
