Adam Joseph Emmert (1765-1812)

Harmonies for 2 horns and bassoon, Volume I

“Salzburg Harmonies”
ed. from the CAROLINO AUGUSTEUM Museum, Salzburg

“… Emmert clearly took advantage of an early romantic wave to sell no big ideas, but good musical entertainment. That is why he freely admits that he did not use his own ideas for half of these popular instrumentations, but rather ‘deliberately packed well-known melodies’. The charm of these musical ‘little things’, as he himself called the work, should find as many friends today as it did almost 200 years ago.”
