Fourteen illustrated talks by ROGER FISKE
7: The Galante Orchestra
The radical change of style that occurred between the era of Bach and Handel and that of Haydn and Mozart was due in no small measure to the composers who wrote for the Elector of Mannheim's orchestra. Moreover, publication of these Mannheim composers' works helped to make the constitution of the Elector's orchestra the standard model.
