#jan #dismas #zelenka #score #sheetmusic #zwv #189 Score / sheet music of a brilliant and ingenious orchestral symphony for 8 concertanti (solo) instruments by Jan Dismas Zelenka, /Z. 189/. Almost all of Zelenka's instrumental works were composed in the year 1723, during a visit to Prague "à praga 1723", as Zelenka in most cases signed the autographs of the /Z. 186-189/ set consisting of a concerto in G Major, hipocondrie in A Major, overture in F and simphonie in A Minor respectively - all composed during his visit to Prague whose main purpose for Zelenka was the composition, direction and conducting of his masterpiece, the melodrama "Sub olea pacis", /Z. 175/ for the coronation and festivities of Charles VI as the Holy Roman Emperor. The five capriccios /Z. 182-85, 190/ are the exception of which were possibly composed in Vienna, during the years 1717-1718, and were designed as representative music to accompany Prince Elector Friedrich August III on his arrival to Vienna from Venice - the /Z. 190/ capriccio in G Major is a autonomous piece, possibly composed as a supplement to the "Viennese" capriccios. It is unknown whether any of his instrumental works were ever composed for anyone or any institution such as the Civic Musical Academy, or the orchestra of Zelenka's former patron, the Baron von Johann Hubert von Hartig to perform.
