Anton Zimmermann's Chamber Music for Strings

Zimmermann enjoyed considerable success, for the largest part of his career, as Kapellmeister at the court of the powerful Batthyani family in Pressburg. In their service, Zimmermann established an excellent court orchestra; at least two of its members eventually joined Haydn's orchestra at the Esterhazy estate. This study concerns all available Zimmermann chamber music for strings and accompanied keyboard music (except sonatas) with string ensemble. More Zimmermann string chamber music may become available eventually, since the archive of the Batthyani family remains to be found.
