A series of rare early publications from the important Bohemian composer, violinist and teacher, showing the impact of Vanhal's music throughout Europe in the same period as his first Viennese publications by Artaria. In Vienna alone, 270 editions of Vanhal's works were published during the composer's lifetime - by contrast, by the time of his death, Mozart had seen only 69 Viennese publications of his works!
"He must have been a fine performer, but, other than that he was listed as a first violinist in a performance of Gluck’s Orfeo in 1763 and that in 1784 he played (perhaps the cello) in a quartet with Haydn, Dittersdorf and Mozart, little is known about his ability...From the studies carried out so far, it is clear that Vanhal was one of the best composers of the time – innovative, imaginative and original. He was also influential, but to what extent is difficult to assess. Haydn was presumably familiar with the ten Vanhal symphonies preserved in the Esterházy collection (H-Bn), but there is more affinity between Vanhal’s style and Mozart’s. Comparisons with other contemporary composers are necessary for an accurate account of Vanhal’s role. However, he unquestionably contributed significantly to music in Europe, and his published music, issued by many publishers, stimulated the public and the entire industry. His career, which led him from bondage to comfortable independence, reflects the influence of Emperor Joseph II and the democratic principles he espoused in Viennese society. Vanhal’s music, in turn, contributed to the development of Viennese musical style." (Grove Online)
