By the early 20th century, he was better regarded but the revival of C.

All the same, held him in high regard and edited some of his music. A fortepiano was used for the continuo in the D minor concerto, and the discovery of horn parts for the outer movements of a harpsichord version of the D minor concerto proved too tempting to resist, hence their inclusion here. His name fell into neglect during the 19th century, with notoriously opining that 'as a creative musician he remained very far behind his father' others opined that he was 'a somewhat feeble imitator of his father's style'. A rich, mellow wide-bored Quantz-style flute, almost a whole tone below modern pitch, was used for the recording. His influence was not limited to his contemporaries and extended to. In fact, he exerted enormous influence on the North German School of composers, in particular. In this way, he compares well with the most important representatives of the First Viennese School. Lucid in style, delicate and tender in expression, they are even more notable for the freedom and variety of their structural design they break away altogether from both the Italian and the, moving instead toward the cyclical and improvisatory forms that would become common several generations later.He was probably the first composer of eminence who made free use of harmonic color for its own sake.
