Quelques précisions sur ce concerto, citées des notes d'Eduard Melkus publiées au verso de la pochette du disque:

"[...] The Concerto in E flat major by Nardini is accompanied by strings and two horns, and the only set of orchestral parts is the property of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Possibly Nardini, who was summoned to Vienna in 1765 for the wedding festivities of the Emperor Joseph II, played it there, and the manuscript parts remained in Vienna.

It has, however, been necessary to add short fermatas, transitional passages, and the capricci. The latter, as Tartini wrote in his „Traité“ and as we can see from his own works and especially from those of Locatelli, were of considerable length. A well-known example of this kind of “capriccio„ is the extensive harpsichord cadenza in Bach’s 5th Brandenburg Concerto. Capricci were also sometimes written as solo pieces thematically unconnected with the works into which they were inserted. It may therefore be assumed that the numerous collections of “caprices„ published during the 18th century originally served as models for cadenza-like episodes in concertos and sonatas, and only gradually took on the character of the etude.

Those recorded here are from a collection of caprices in the possession of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, and their style suggests that they were probably composed by Nardini himself. For once, therefore, the player was able to restrict his embellishments to the ornamentation customary in repeats, and so, too, this recording demonstrates not only the evolution of the solo concerto of the Padua school (Tartini and his pupils), but also the richness of the ancient art of ornamentation, reproduced from authentic sources.

Ce disque fut enregistré dans des sessions s'étalant du 11 au 14 février 1966, dans le «Studio Wien-Film», Rosenhügel, Wien, avec la «Capella Academica, Wien» (*) et Eduard MELKUS en soliste, le tout sous la direction de August WENZINGER.

[*] Sur l'impulsion de Josef Mertin, Eduard Melkus fonda en 1952, avec Gustav Leonhardt et Karl Scheit, la «Schola Antiqua Wien», qui devint en 1965 la «Capella Academica Wien», qu'il dirige aujourd'hui encore - décembre 2020 - malgré son âge respectable - 92 ans le 1er septembre passé!

Quelques précisions sur les instruments, toujours citées du texte d'Eduard Melkus publié au verso de la pochette du disque:

"[...] The "Capella Academica" plays valuable Italian and German instruments belonging to the Akademie für Musik in Vienna. They correspond to 18th century principles of construction with their short necks, thinner bass bars an differently shaped bridges; these instruments are played with bows of corresponding design, which are held in the Italian manner, above the nut. The wind instruments, too, are originals, the horns belonging to the Haydn Orchestra in Eisenstadt and kindly lent by the Provincial Government of the Burgenland; the oboe, which is the property of H. G. Stradner, was made by A. Grenser (1720— 1807).

The concert pitch adopted in Vienna in former times seems to have been higher than in other musical centres — as it is today — so that it almost corresponded to our modern pitch. This fact is proved by a number of wind instruments of the period which have come down to us with two tuning pieces of different lengths, the shorter of which enables the instrument to play at almost exactly the present-day pitch. The instruments of the Capella Academica are therefore tuned to A = 440. [...]"
