Jiří Družecký (1745–1819), known in German as Georg Druschetzky, began as a military musician and oboist and studied with the Dresden court oboist Carlo Besozzi. After years as a regional timpanist in Upper Austria and in Vienna, he served Duke Grassalkovich in Pressburg, Prince Primate Batthyány in Hungary and, from 1807, Archduke Joseph, whose eight-part wind band he directed. His large output includes 28 symphonies, some 150 wind partitas, string quartets, masses and operas; today he is known mainly among wind players.
The Quartetto for B flat clarinet, violin, viola and cello, in a key rarely found for this scoring, appears here for the first time in a modern edition with full score. The source is a manuscript set of parts (dated by RISM between 1800 and 1824) in the library of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest.
Editorial additions are given in brackets; significant departures from the source are explained in footnotes. Score and parts; preface (German/English) by Hanno Fendt.
