Carl Stamitz (1745-1805) - with his father Johann Wenzel aka Jan Vaclav and his brother Anton one of the founders and developers of the so-called "Mannheim School", so essential in the growth of the classical symphony - belongs to that throng of composers from the classical era that my have met with great success and popularity during their lifetime, but are now viewed as "minor" ones, dwarfed by the shadows of Haydn and Mozart, and then Beethoven.

Dieter Klöcker, premier clarinetist and eminent scholar, has brought to light three little-known works by Ignaz Pleyel that are best described by Mozart's own words to his father about some of Pleyel's other music: "If you are not acquainted with them–it is worth the effort. They are very well written and very pleasant; and you'll recognize his master at once, too." Pleyel's teacher was Haydn, and Mozart was right on all counts. Klöcker conducts his always excellent Consortium Classicum in a splendid reading of the charming Octet. Balance between winds and strings is always as it should be, and the players' skill is exemplary. Highlights include the solo violin line in the imaginative Menuet, and the really lovely string ensemble in the Adagio.

Czerny’s name, even during his own lifetime, became known to the public more as a pedagogue than as a composer worthy of serious consideration. Little has changed up to the present day as his reputation is associated with dreadful memories of piano lessons even though his value and considerable legacy to piano teaching cannot be overestimated.
