Divertimenti

Divertimenti

Serious Entertainment in few movements 

Six sequences of pieces with a Menuet on the way from entertainment to taletelling musical speech

Matthias van den Gheyn's Divertimenti, with a few but broadly executed sentences, go far beyond the original idea of courtly distraction.
