Orchestral music played a significant role in the output of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. In his early years as a professional organist at the Sophienkirche in the Saxon capital Dresden (1733-1746), he developed his own unmistakable personal style in a series of ambitious concertos and sinfonias. The surviving body of W. F. Bach's sinfonias has been affected by considerable losses. The Sinfonia in D major (BR-WFB C-Inc. 16), published here for the first time, was attributed to both Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, however on stylistic grounds, it is more likely attributable to W. F. Bach. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3230500.

Giuseppe Torelli was born in Verona, Italy in 1658. He was a famous violinist, teacher, and composer. His career allowed travels to Germany and Vienna, but centered in Bologna, Italy, where he was a violinist and violist in the Accademia Filarmonica and later, worked as a musician at the Basilica San Petronio. Torelli was an especially important figure in the development of the instrumental concerto, with particular emphasis on both the solo concerto and concerto grosso forms.The Sinfonia in D Major (G21) is a piece originally scored for one or two trumpets, first and second solo violins, first and second ripieno violins, solo viola, ripieno viola, violoncello ripieno, violoncello continuo, violone ripieno, and organo.The exact date of the composition is not known, but the work is presumed to have been completed in the latter period. This edition is based on the autograph manuscript located in the musical archives at the Basilica San Petronio in Bologna, Italy.

The Sinfonia in D major (BR-WFB C 8) was probably composed in the mid-1750s during Bach's tenure as organist and Director Musices in Halle. Evidence shows that it was used as the instrumental introduction to the Whitsun cantata Dies ist der Tag (BR-WFB F 13 / Fk 85). However, this is not a piece characterized by the church style, hence a separate performance in a secular context is not only possible, but was probably intended by the composer.
