Composer's Artistic Vision

Fasch's first musical idol was Telemann, from whom he 'learned almost everything' as a teenager dabbling in composition at St. Thomas School.

Fasch's noble employers at Anhalt-Zerbst cared little about copyright, allowing for 'musical file sharing' with other courts, including works by Vivaldi and Telemann.
