The overtures of the orchestral suites here recorded have, in the slow and lyrical opening sections (which return, varied, at the end) all the traditional elements of the French overture, such as triad motives, dotted rhythms, and sudden scale fragments. In the fast central passages there is a more or less regular alternation between fugal sections, homophonous tutti, and contrasting solos. Stylistically, these parts, with their sequences of short motives consisting at times of just a few notes characterised by rhythm, very much approach the galant style of Graupner and Telemann. With its light-hearted, nimble and lively developments, Fasch's music is both entertaining and brilliant.
