Splendide !!! Je continue a affirmer haut et fort que ces compositeurs inconnus du grand publuc encore aujourd hui comme Dittersdorf meritent d etre connus, leurs oeuvres ecoutees et enregistrres sur disques... Ici cette oeuvre est indiscutablement classee parmi les grandes oeuvres des grands compositeurs...
The radio in my car is always tuned to classic music station. The love play Ditters von Dittersdorf. That is how I got to know him and enjoy his music.

Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf 1739 - 1799 ... In 1745 August Carl was introduced to the violin and his father's moderate financial position allowed him not only a good general education at a Jesuit school, but private tutelage in music, violin, French and religion. ... In 1764 Ditters assumed the post of Kapellmeister at the court of Ádám Patachich, Hungarian nobleman and Bishop of Nagyvárad (Oradea, Romania).... Johann Baptist Wanhal was perhaps Dittersdorf's most eminent pupil. About 1785, Haydn, Dittersdorf, Mozart and Wanhal played string quartets together, Dittersdorf taking first violin, Haydn second violin, Mozart viola and Wanhal cello. ... He finished his autobiography just three days before his death. ... WIKI
True. I believe Dittersdorf and Haydn both took the first violin part on occasion, if the following is to be believed: "The Irish tenor Michael Kelly, the first Don Basilio in Mozart's _Le nozze dl Figaro._ reports having heard Dittersdorf in a quartet at the house of his friend Stephen Storace, with Haydn playing first violin, Dittersdorf second, Mozart viola and the composer Vanhal cello." www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.553368&catNum=553368&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=English In any case, I would have loved to attended a performance by those four. I submit that there would have been more musical greatness in that quartet, more sheer genius, than any other foursome who played together. Ah, to have been a fly on the wall!
Galantski All four members of this famous composer quartet were competent string players, both Haydn and Mozart enjoyed the viola as well as the violin for example, and Haydn wrote two technically demanding ‘cello concertos. However, Dittersdorf was by some distance the most accomplished player of the four; he was certainly the best violin player on which instrument, he could probably be described fairly, as a virtuoso. Kelly, in the account you cite, reports that Haydn played the 1st violin; it would seem quite possible that given Ditterdorf’s ability, he might have actually taken the 1st role and Haydn the 2nd - with Mozart the viola and Vanhal the ‘cello as described by Kelly. Perhaps Kelly, whose reminisces were written down over forty years later in 1826, has made an error in recalling the occasion?
there's another symphony about the french revolution (or rather the peace that followed it) by paul wranitzky. i wonder if other composers wrote specific symphonies about the revolution.
Supongo que pocos compositores escribirian musica con tematica pro revolucion que pudiera perjudicar a los aristocratas, que eran sus mejores clientes...
Apparently this is misattributed as by Dittersdorf; elsewhere Othon-Joseph Vandenbroecke (1759-1832), a Flemish composer, conductor & horn player, is listed as having written it. Although the work is similar in places to Dittersdorf, its melodies are, if anything, less memorable than the Austrian master at his best. Still, a very listenable piece.
i don't know wether dittersdorf was a french speaking composer because it means "how the fortress was taken" if yes he would have called it is as it is mentioned
Molto piacevole, ma nulla a che vedere con la Sinfonia sullo stesso soggetto composta da Pavel Wranitzky... assai superiore come livello drammatico ed espressivo.

This is the best !!
The composer was Othon Vandenbroek (1758-1832), not Dittersdorf.
merci KulhauDilfeng!! Quelle pêche!
¡ Oh ! Marqués de Sade. Qué bien te vino la toma de la Bastilla para escapar del calabozo. ¡Truhan !

Beethoven's Fifth, at least according to Sir John Eliot Gardiner.
And certainly Beethoven's 'Eroica' (Symphony Nr. 3). ...

Actually, it is better than most of Ditters symphonies!
aksi iska He did in fact speak French
Wow.
What work is this in Krebs' catalogue of Dittersdorfs works?
Tato hudba chyti za srdce a uz nikdy nepusti.Člověk se do ni zamiluje a je ztracen,samozřejmě v nejlepsim slova snyslu:)ach
Its got to be by Dilttersdorf
The best impressive composer bar Mozart ?
... of the Classical Period? What about Haydn?
Dommage qu'une si belle musique contribue à magnifier cette date funeste pour la France
Dittersdorf was a great composer equal of Haydn.
