Part 2
Anton Nanut brought the music of the little G major symphony by Sorkocevic from Zagreb for this recording. It is one of seven symPhonies by this composer, who was born in 1734 in Dubrovnik and studied there and in Rome. The manuscript was discovered in the Benedictine monastery in Dubrovnik. and these symphonies are considered to be the first Croatian ones. Though there are obvious stylistic similarities between his music and Haydn's earliest compositions it is unlikely that he heard the music of Haydn. Sorkocevic died in 1789, having devoted the major part of his later years tu politics. Helen Cooke
