Today's example, No. 4 in C Minor, is perhaps the most austere and sombre of the set. Its four sections, Largo, Allegro, Adagio, Allegro, suggest the familiar Church Sonata (slow-fast-slow-fast) format. The The German composer Johann Melchior Molter spent much of his pro- two slow movements, in Siciliano and Sarabande character fessional life in his native Durlach at the service of the Margrave of Baden. respectively, are in effect, vocal arias set over broken chords in the harpsichord.

But in 1743, Molter returned to Durlach and the job that he had formerly held, and Trio Sonata in D Minor, Op. 18 he remained in that capacity until his death twenty-two years later. No. 9 Maurizio Cazzati (c. 1620-1677) He was a highly prolific composer-with 165 symphonies, 95 concertos and concertinos, 14 overtures and 66 sonatas among his instrumental Sonata in C Major work to his credit. The State Library at Carlsruhe also has 14 Molter Biagio Marini (?-1665) cantatas and 3 stage works in their archives. Because of the long- standing confusion over the terms"clarino" (little trumpet) and "clarinet", there is a question as to just how many concertos Molter did write for Canzona No. 5 in D Minor trumpet. Gerard Schwarz knows of three such solo works, three more Girolamo Frescobalde (1583-1655) for two trumpets and four that call for combinations of trumpets, oboes, bassoons and horns. The designation "No. 2", then, is probably closer to the truth than the more impressive "No. 33" that comes from The sonata (derived from the Italian "Suonare", to play) and the Can- an editor who undoubtedly tallied the authentic works calling for high zone (from "Cantare", to sing) call attention to the relationship between playing and singing. Said trumpet with those for clarinet (and possibly other instruments as well). relationship is something that needs stressing in this era of objective musicmaking, with its tape recorders, synthe- sizers and the like. To be Molter's style, while basically similar to Vivaldi's, tends to be much sure, a "Romantic Revival" is upon us, but ironically, many of its more adventurous technically. His melodies are rather wide ranging and most zealous devotees are musicians trained in the brittle, impersonal loosely constructed; his choice of tonality voyaging to all sorts of remote style prevalent in the fifties and sixties who merely caricature the keys.

Furtwanglers were masters at "singing" instrumental music and their freedom had a certair patrician restraint. Today's players, for the most part, try to recreate that bygone style Sonata for Violin and Cembalo, No. 4 in C Minor, BWV 1017 solely through pseudo-seriousness, willfully vacilating tempos and scoop- ing Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) portamentos, with usually devastating effect on musical continuity.
