From the publisher: “For 2 horns, 2 oboes (violins) und bassoon, edited as first edition by Roland Steinfeld. The suite is preceded by a French overture typical of the Baroque period, in which a fast, concertante section in 6/8 time is framed by a slower section with dotted rhythms. The overture movement is followed by a sequence of stylised dance movements characterised by French titles: Le Ris (The Laughter), Les Drôles (The Funny Ones), Espaniole en Rondeau, Fanfare.
