"Recently, I discovered Dittersdorf quite by accident and have been utterly delighted with myself ever since. Dittersdorf is highly under rated/presented these days, which is somewhat ironic when you consider the fact that he was extremely popular in his own time. Almost an exact contemporary of Mozart, his music is very reminiscent of the young Maestro. Of note: listen for the clear influences of Vivaldi and Bach, then bask in the Mozartian combination. It makes for a great study."

Carl Friedrich Abel (b. December 22, 1723 in Cöthen) was one of the most renowned viola da gamba players of his day. It was probably for Carl's father, Christian Ferdinand Abel, that Johann Sebastian Bach composed his famous solo cello suites.
Following his education at the Thomasschule under J.S. Bach, he initially took a post under Johann Adolf Hasse in the Dresden court orchestra, and remained there for a decade before traveling to London 1759. There he met and eventually shared a room with Johann Christian Bach.
