However many chamber works were written much earlier than this and others were composed during his later Leipzig period, to be performed at the famous Collegium Musicum concerts. \nHere The Feinstein Ensemble introduce and perform three decades of instrumental masterpieces, including his earliest surviving chamber work: the Fugue for violin and continuo in G minor.
