Johann Heinrich Schmelzer's (ca 1620 ~[?] - 1680 Prague) ''Musikalische
Fechtschule'' (musical swordfight) is a typical product of the day
(composed around 1668/69) with its colorful and vivid style (= Musica
representativa).  You can actually seem to hear the swords of the
opponents hitting each other in this section from the 5th movement of
the Suite. The final movement is called the ''Bader arie'': this comes
from the fact that both the winner and the loser end up at the
bathhouse, so the real winner was the Bader, the bathhouse owner. (E. Stadler)
