His instrumental music - ranging from small ensemble pieces to concertos and symphonies - enjoyed immense international popularity until the tides slowly shifted with the onset of the Revolution. The clever and versatile Pleyel adapted skillfully: while he wrote a few pieces of homage for the new French rulers, he largely stayed true to the classical style of his predecessors, all the while establishing a reputation in Paris as a publisher and piano maker. Today, interest in his classically structured works has understandably been rekindled. Thanks to their refined elegance and fluidity, their architectural balance, and - especially in the case of the popular viola concerto - their considerable virtuosity, this music has nothing to fear from comparison with the great names of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50700182913324,"sku":"761203549221","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/2257\/7708\/files\/4392458-3329943.jpg?v=1741213727","url":"https:\/\/joseyrecords.com\/products\/london-mozart-players-pleyel-symphonies-nos-18-21-viola-concerto-cd","provider":"Josey Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
