Description: All of these works were written for Dresden (remember, Fasch worked in Zerbst but angled for performance by better forces elsewhere) and the two overtures are fine examples of the composer's "overture symphonies" - in three movements, moving in the direction of the Classical symphony.7 Les Amis de Philippe; Ludger Rémy.
