Details

Like the Symphony in C major (VB 139), this work is a representative of the more intimate Sinfonia da camera genre. The autograph parts make it clear that the setting was originally intended to be small, perhaps only one player per part. It is not know for which occasion Kraus composed this work, but watermark dating of the original makes it likely that it was written during the Summer or early Fall of 1782. This symphony is unusual, not only because it is one of those rare pieces written in the key of C minor, but also because it is in four movements, including a minuet; Kraus's normal preference was for a three movement format. The entire work can be considered one of the best examples of a true Sturm und Drang symphony. The slow introduction contains a dramatic allusion to Gluck's overture to the opera Iphigenie en Aulide, a significant homage to one of Kraus's idols. Trademarks of the musical Sturm und Drang abound in the first movement; the swiftly appearing motives, the relentless minor key sonorities, the incessant use of rapidly changing dynamics, syncopations and tremolos, and the often sparse orchestration that lends the movement a powerful tension. The second movement, in contrast, is a lyrical episode whose lines move enharmonically, with a brief reminiscence of the introduction. The minuet is an example of the al rovescio, where the second part is simply the first played backwards in palindrome fashion.

As noted above, the edition is based upon the complete set of autograph parts, now in the Royal Swedish Academy of Music Library under signature Z/Sv. Originally, Kraus wrote out a separate figured bass part, even though he also included separate parts for both the violoncello and contrabass. Most likely, this was his "conductor's" score, performed at the keyboard. As is usual with Kraus's autographs, the parts are meticulously written, noting all dynamics, phrasings, etc. Given this precision, the editor has accepted that the composer deliberately chose to vary certain parallel passages, and that the nuances were carefully conceived. For example, in bar 74 of the first movement, Kraus chooses to divide the slurred staccatos, an action necessary to make the bowing come out right in the first violins, even though it does not correspond to the previous articulation of the motive. Likewise in bar 180, the horns sustain the harmony with a halfnote, while the rest of the instruments have only a quarter, thus maintaining the continuity of the piece. Cross slurring in the slow movement has likewise been maintained, although it too seems rather strange to modern eyes; Kraus's intent, however, seems to have been the continuity of the line above regularity. In the Minuet, the final note is a lone b-flat in the bass, an irregularity that Kraus repeated in all three "bass" parts, and thus it has been retained. One ought perhaps to suggest that this movement contains some inside musical joke of the sort that the composer was fond of writing on occasion. Some of the cautionary accidentals have been removed as redundant. Bertil van Boer

An elegant workhorse!
Style: 10 Inch, Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
I hate washing dishes so I use these Dixie plates a lot and they are STURDY. They will carry a whole meal without wilting. The rim is deep enough that, should you be so inclined, you could eat ice cream out of them without any dripping or drooping worries. So something like spaghetti or lasagna would be easily handled. I now buy them 150 at a time because they're so handy and that way more economical. I use them instead of a cutting board sometimes. And they just feel the right weight, not too heavy, not too light. For a picnic or a walking-around party they would be the best for preventing spills. But what I enjoy is their versatility. You can even rinse them off and use them again if they've had light use. And the current pattern is cheerful too!!

Sturdy, Convenient Paper Plates That Hold Up Well
Style: 8.5 Inch, Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
These Dixie medium paper plates are perfect for everyday use. They’re strong enough to handle full meals without bending or leaking, even with heavier or saucy foods. The 8.5-inch size is just right not too big, not too small great for lunch, snacks, or light dinners. I also like that they hold up well in the microwave, which makes reheating easy and mess-free. Super convenient for busy days, gatherings, or when you just don’t feel like doing dishes. Reliable quality and very practical to keep on hand.
