These open with the familiar Trtiumerei, Dreaming, from Robert Schumann's set of piano pieces, Scenes of Childhood, as much an evocation of a child's day- dreaming as a piece for children. There follows a Gavotte, a simple and attractive dance, by one of the most respected figures in the musical world of the eighteenth century, the priest Padre Martini, whose pupils included Mozart and the youngest son of Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Christian, among some hundred or so more. The D minor Oboe Concerto of Alessandro Marcello, a Venetian nobleman, was wrongly attributed to a number of others, including his younger brother Benedetto. It was transcribed for harpsichord by Bach, and here the moving slow movement is given in organ transcription. Christoph Willibald von Gluck, ennobled for his services to music in Vienna in the third quarter of the eighteenth century, is an important figure in the development of opera, responsible for a move towards greater dramatic realism, after a period in which the art had become stylized. His Gavotte has a characteristic charm, even separated from its dramatic context and in organ transcription. Bach, in common with other musicians of his time, was adept at the arrangement of music by other composers, any such work serving as a model for his own work and as a tribute to the composer of the work so transcribed. The Siciliano, BWV 596, is the slow movement of an arrangement by Bach for organ of a concerto by the Venetian priest, violinist, impresario and composer Antonio Vivaldi, a significant figure in the development of the solo concerto. The pattern of the original shepherd's dance is preserved in the slow dotted rhythms of the movement. The name of João de Sousa Carvalho may be less generally known, although he occupied an important place
