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
