“The works of Johann Friedrich Fasch were long
denied a place in the repertory even though the noted scholar Hugo Riemann drew
attention to this composer more than 90 years ago, paying tribute to his role
as a precursor of the classical school and describing his idiom as crucial for
the emergence of the new style, an assessment subsequently shared by other
musicologists in what were often important contributions to research. As all
his compositions have come down to us in manuscript form, much remains to be
rescued from obivlion, but the small sample of his output that the cognoscenti
and the wider musical public have been able to hear in recent years was
impressive enough to confirm Riemann’s statement, “Henceforth he (Fasch) will
have to be regarded as one of J. S. Bach’s most eminent contemporaries…””
