JOHANN GEORG ALBRECHTSBERGER (1736-1809): 6 String Quartets, Op. 16, Sonata in C "Pro festo paschalis", GREGOR J. WERNER (1693-1766): 6 Fugues à 4.

Description: Albrechtsberger wrote a number of "string quartets" which were nothing more than two movement adagio-fugue works, as these are here. We offered two examples from his op. 24 just two months ago (05L036) on a disc which also had two of Werner's six fugues. Here's a full disc of early late baroque and early classical contrapuntalism on period instruments. Authentic Quartet.
