In 1704 Johann Sebastian Bach composed the programmatic keyboard Capriccio in B-flat 'sopra la lontanezza del suo fratello dilettissimo' ('on the departure of a beloved brother') that is quite unusual among his works for its detailed titling of six movements commemorating his brother's departure by coach. The last two movement, 'Aria di positglione' (Coachman's Song) and 'Fuga all' imitazione della cornetta di positglione' (Posthorn Fugue) are transcribed for woodwind quintet.
The 'Turkish March' is from the incidental music for 'The Ruins of Athens', Op. 113. This setting is for wind octet or nonet (2Ob, 2Cl, 2Bn, 2Hn with optional contrabassoon or double bass). $12.00
