Description: Although, except for the Scarlatti and the Sammartini, the repertoire here is not that unusual, the title of the series is and we wanted to bring it to you from the beginning to wherever it might lead. It's interesting to consider the Scarlatti as a kind of prelude to the genre while Sammartini's early works could be played as "symphonies" or as quartets. casalQuartett.
