	Carl Friedrich Abel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Abel seems to have visited Paris with some regularity in the 1770s and 1780s; he was said to be teaching the gamba to a fermier-general there, and it was probably he who introduced the several performers from Paris featured at the concerts.
		It was at this time that Abel first showed signs of the illness that was to kill him; it was apparently brought on by rich living and in particular by an over-indulgence in drink, but it seems impossible to ~nk this with any tragedy in his life (as has been suggested).
		Abel's style underwent little change; although he eventually came to write bass lines free of the plodding continuo style, the texture of two parallel melodic voices with a supporting bass, derived from the trio sonata, can be found in most of his trios and in many of his quartets and symphonies.

	Symphony
		Symphonies were written throughout Europe, however, with Giovanni Battista Sammartini and Antonio Brioschi active in Italy, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in northern Germany, Leopold Mozart in Salzburg, François-Joseph Gossec in Paris, and Johann Christian Bach and Carl Friedrich Abel in London.
		The next generation of symphonists desired to combine the expanded harmonic vocabulary developed by chromatic composers such as John Field, Ludwig Spohr and Carl Maria von Weber, with the structural innovations of Beethoven.
		The twentieth century saw further diversification in the style and content of works which composers labelled "symphonies" - the idea that the "symphony" was a definite form which had certain standards was eroded, and the symphony instead came to be any major orchestral work which its composer saw fit to label such.

		CARL FRIEDRICH ABEL came from an old musical family in Germany; he was to be one of the last viola da gamba performers of his era.
		The trios, which are elegant predecessors to the Classical Era string quartets of Haydn and Mozart, are written in the fashionable three-movement style, closing with a minuet.
		Abel's galant style is characterized by clear, regularly phrased melodies; expressive, even bluesy melodic accents-sustained so as to momentarily alter the underlying harmony; occasional, well-spun ornaments; and freely varying rhythms, contrasting with the more regular rhythmic patterns and backgrounds of the baroque.
