Description
Although many—if not most—of the works in the Periodical Overtures are little known today, some have enjoyed sustained attention over the centuries since their composition, and that is certainly true for Periodical Overture No. 11 by Johann Stamitz (1717-1757). By the time publisher Robert Bremner (c.1713–1789) selected it for inclusion in the series, Stamitz's in E-flat Major symphony had already been issued in a well-received 1758 Parisian collection of VI Sinfonie (by various authors) subtitled "La Melodia Germanica." Five years later, in 1763, J. J. Hummel printed it in Amsterdam as the final item in a set of six symphonies entirely by Stamitz. However, Bremner's 1764 publication was the first English edition of the piece, and thus he upheld his vow from the start of the series that "No Simphonie, &c. shall be published, that may have formerly been printed in Britain."
