Details

Like the Symphony in C major (VB 139), this work is a representative of the more intimate Sinfonia da camera genre. The autograph parts make it clear that the setting was originally intended to be small, perhaps only one player per part. It is not know for which occasion Kraus composed this work, but watermark dating of the original makes it likely that it was written during the Summer or early Fall of 1782. This symphony is unusual, not only because it is one of those rare pieces written in the key of C minor, but also because it is in four movements, including a minuet; Kraus's normal preference was for a three movement format. The entire work can be considered one of the best examples of a true Sturm und Drang symphony. The slow introduction contains a dramatic allusion to Gluck's overture to the opera Iphigenie en Aulide, a significant homage to one of Kraus's idols. Trademarks of the musical Sturm und Drang abound in the first movement; the swiftly appearing motives, the relentless minor key sonorities, the incessant use of rapidly changing dynamics, syncopations and tremolos, and the often sparse orchestration that lends the movement a powerful tension. The second movement, in contrast, is a lyrical episode whose lines move enharmonically, with a brief reminiscence of the introduction. The minuet is an example of the al rovescio, where the second part is simply the first played backwards in palindrome fashion.

As noted above, the edition is based upon the complete set of autograph parts, now in the Royal Swedish Academy of Music Library under signature Z/Sv. Originally, Kraus wrote out a separate figured bass part, even though he also included separate parts for both the violoncello and contrabass. Most likely, this was his "conductor's" score, performed at the keyboard. As is usual with Kraus's autographs, the parts are meticulously written, noting all dynamics, phrasings, etc. Given this precision, the editor has accepted that the composer deliberately chose to vary certain parallel passages, and that the nuances were carefully conceived. For example, in bar 74 of the first movement, Kraus chooses to divide the slurred staccatos, an action necessary to make the bowing come out right in the first violins, even though it does not correspond to the previous articulation of the motive. Likewise in bar 180, the horns sustain the harmony with a halfnote, while the rest of the instruments have only a quarter, thus maintaining the continuity of the piece. Cross slurring in the slow movement has likewise been maintained, although it too seems rather strange to modern eyes; Kraus's intent, however, seems to have been the continuity of the line above regularity. In the Minuet, the final note is a lone b-flat in the bass, an irregularity that Kraus repeated in all three "bass" parts, and thus it has been retained. One ought perhaps to suggest that this movement contains some inside musical joke of the sort that the composer was fond of writing on occasion. Some of the cautionary accidentals have been removed as redundant. Bertil van Boer

Easy To Use
Easy to use product with nice scent. The scent is a bit lighter than I thought it would be, but I suppose you could use a couple at a time. Compared to other brands I thought a good value as you get more. Seemed to work well. Popped one in, ran the disposal and the smell seemed to be gone.

Smelled great in the bag
I'm not sure how well these work, but they smell great. When I received the bag, a couple of the drops had popped leaving a mess inside. I ended up returning them.

Love the Fresh Smell and Effectiveness!
I absolutely love these garbage disposal cleaners! The scent is fantastic – it leaves my kitchen smelling fresh and clean every time I use them. Not only do they have a great smell, but they also do an excellent job of cleaning and deodorizing my garbage disposal. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that these cleaners are eliminating any lingering odors and buildup in my disposal, leaving it clean and fresh for the next use. Plus, they're so easy to use – just drop one in, run the disposal, and voila! Instant freshness. This is the third time I've purchased these garbage disposal cleaners, and I'll definitely continue to buy them in the future. They're a staple in my cleaning routine, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an effective and convenient solution for keeping their garbage disposal smelling fresh.
