Album Description
Rosetti is an important member of the group of Czech composers living in emigration in North Germany. He began composing in the early classical pre-Haydn style but gradually changed his methods of expression to those used by Haydn and Mozart.

Jan Ladislav Dussek came from a family of musicians. His mother was a talented harpist. The harp sonatas by Dussek were composed in the last decade of the eighteenth century.
