Introduction to Archives- Quintetto n.1

that contain music for over 100 of his string quintets 


This music is one of many in the collection of manuscripts from Italian composer Giuseppe Maria Gioacchino Cambini (1746-1825). This piece contains music for over 100 of his string quintets. The string quintet emerged as a recognized genre in both Italy and Austria in the 1760s; Cambini was both a pioneer and one of the dominating composers of the genre, with pre-classical examples dating from the early 1770s.

I like this piece of history because it's an early example of humans constructing a musical piece. I found these notes in the Cambini Quintets collection. I would like to know what the composer was feeling in the moments when he constructed these notes
