Influences on Mozart, Haydn, Bach and Handel

This broadcast is for listeners who especially interested in the music of Haydn, Mozart, Bach, and Handel. But none of the works by those composers will be played. Instead, all the music on this program will be by the people each one of them would point if I were to ask them to name the composer who influenced him.

The following works are played:

First movement in Symphonia in D Major by J.C. Bach. Recorded for Columbia by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Paul Zaffin.

Closing movement of the Symphonie Concertante in F major for 7 solo instruments and orchestra by Carl Stamitz . It was performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra directed by Henry Swoboda for Westminster Records.

Opening of a symphony by Cannabich.

Opening movement of String Quartet in C opus 5 #`1 by Franz Richter. It was performed for Bartok Records by the New Music Quartet.

Opening section of the Cantata Jesu meine Freud und Lust by Dieterich Buxtehude performed by Choir of St. Thomas' Church in New Haven Connecticut under the direction of Howard Boatwright for Overtone Records

Two movements from the Concerto in E for Oboe d'Amore and Viola d'Amore and Flute and Viola by George Philip Telemann. The recording was made in Europe and issued in the U.S. by Decca Records.
