Beautiful indeed, but who is the author? Pls, give the full name or initials at least.

(Johann Friedrich Fasch or Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch? My tip is the first.)

@gfkeri You're right, it is the first! *Applause*

Don't worry, at least in this channel, the name Fasch by itself will always refers to the first, very much like Bach alone, refers to J.S. elsewhere. But it would be a lovely guessing exercise, trying to distinguish the Dresden Galant from the Berliner one.

@egmdokttor OK, I see, thanks again, but the analogy to JS BACH is too ... I cannot find the proper word because Bach is according to Albert Schweitzer (and it is only Bach from any composers, on my opinion) - to speak the language of Kant, a historical postulate. Perhaps better analogy would be the great Lully or Couperin among their relatives, or the great German speaking Hungarian composer Haydn from the two brothers. (He lived in Hungary in most of his life, I think.)

@gfkeri You're welcome. I see no problem here, not only the father is immensely more recognizable than the son, as he (if you excuse me) was more regarded than your "historical postulate" itself. Also, their music is easily distinguishable for chronological and, perhaps, stylistic reasons.

@egmdokttor Thanks!
