Beskrivelse
An erudite presentation of the development of the concerto , mostly 1700’s. Emphasis on Corelli, Vivaldi, Handel. Plenty about Bach. Expert analysis of German, French and Italian schools of playing and composing with judgements of various major and minor composers of the Baroque sonata/concerto genre. The writer is very able to present his specialized knowledge in sometimes beautiful writing. May be more than reader would want to know but I was kept interested throughout the work. Reccomended for any baroque fancier.
