Early Solo Concertos

Accademia Arcadia

Brought to you by The Peggy & Leslie Cranbourne Foundation

Concertos were originally works for ensembles of various sizes and composition, often contrasting concertino (group of soloists) and ripieno (usually a string orchestra). The solo concerto—the standard form of the genre in the Classical and Romantic eras—emerged gradually over the course of the 18th century. This program features four outstanding works by Baroque composers Alessandro Marcello and Antonio Vivaldi, and early Classical composers Thomas Arne and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
