Following the Renaissance volume, this time it is Baroque works (more precisely,
transcriptions of Baroque vocal and instrumental works) that are presented in
the Leggierissimo series, extending the repertoire of junior string orchestras.
Roughly half of the selection consists of well-known pieces by the greatest
composers of the period (Purcell: Dido and Aeneas, Rameau: Pičces de clavecin,
Händel: Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, J.S. Bach: B major partita,
C major orchestral suite), but works by composers less well known nowadays (for
example, G. Böhm and J. C. F. Fischer) are also included, together with such
unusual items as Polish, German and Hungarian dances from 17th- and 18th-century
Hungarian manuscripts: the Kájoni and Vietórisz codexes, and Eleonóra Lányi’s
music book.
