Sonata No. 1 for brass

Composer: PEZEL, Johann Christoph
  • This piece comes from a collection of music for 5-part cornett or trombone ensemble, for performance by Ratsmusiken.
  • When Pezel worked in Leipzig, pieces such as these would have been performed twice a day from the tower of the Town Hall (Rathaus or Council House).
  • The collection from which this piece comes is called Hora decima musicorum (Tenth Hour of Music, pub. Leipzig, 1670).1
