GRETSCH, Johann Konrad (~1710-1778)
Gretsch. Trio in g-minor
VdG+V+Bc
Johann Konrad Gretsch was a respected cellist in the chapel of the Prince of Thurn and Taxis in Regensburg and a popular composer. Ernst Ludwig Gerber called Gretsch a man who reveals in his compositions the most thorough knowledge in harmony, very good taste, and the most consummate skill on his instrument. His works include five cello concertos and eleven cello sonatas. The present charming trio in the Ledenburg Collection is probably an original compostion for this formation.
