ABOUT THE COMPOSER
Carl Stamitz (1745-1801) was the son of the famous first concertmaster of the Mannheim Court Orchestra, Johann Stamitz (1717-1757) and one of the leading members of the second generation Mannheim School. He toured across Europe and performed on violin, viola, and viola d’amore. His compositions were widely published and he is renowned for his contribution to the symphony, concerto, and symphonie concertantes. Le chasse (the hunt) was a common subject for musical pieces in the eighteenth-century, and was often inspired by the decadent rituals performed in the French court.
