Lustige Feldmusik It was thanks to a strong French influence at the beginning of the 18th century that bandes de hautbois were frequently present in German courts. These instruments were initially intended for the performance of military and ceremonial music but soon began to take part in more courtly entertainments. A particular style of music was used in compositions for these instruments, as it was also in works for newer instruments, one of these being the oboe da caccia that Fasch employed as the solo instrument in a concerto that has only recently come to light.
