Vejvanovský - Sonate e serenade

Pavel Josef Vejvanovský was is a Czech composer of the middle baroque period. He composed about 120, largely orchestral works with dominant roles for brass as a trumpet virtuoso. He wrote spiritual as well as secular works, but in his later works he was able to master most typical idioms of the day. He seems to have struggled with imitative counterpoint and his most compelling pieces are characterised by charming folk idioms and virtuosic brass writing. He composed in a wide variety of genres ranging from large-scale Mass settings and music for special feast days to more intimate sonatas and suites.
