When seeking out the forerunners of the influential »Mannheim School«, one often stumbles across the name of Johann Evangelist Brandl, born in Regensburg in 1760.  Even if he never actually belonged to the leading lights of the musical avant-garde, Brandl was nevertheless in close touch with prominent musicians at the Bruchsal court of the Bishop of Speyer. They helped him when the bishop was forced to flee the invading French in 1792, who finally conquered Bruchsal seven years later. Brandl’s new place of work became the Francophile court of the Grand Duke of Baden. There, until his death in 1837, he composed numerous works for his beloved bassoon – including the Quintet, Op. 63.
