Dittrich, C. - Divertissement for Horn
- First Edition -
Below the title page of the 1st Violin can be seen. The probable owner, M. Schneider, and the date 1839 is written on this sheet by hand. Unfortunately, the life dates of C. Dittrich are unknown. Maybe, he was a horn player at the court of Chemnitz, who printed his work at J.G. Häcker at his own expense.
This composition, the Divertissement Op.8 of C. Dittrich, appears probably in the music register of Hoffmeister, but for the solo instrument Bass trombone. It is possible that this is an arranged version based on the print for horn.
The music seems to be more like an Andante, Theme and Variations. It has the attraction of former salons (drawing-rooms) and music of virtuoso.
