Arcangelo Corelli: Concerto Grosso Opus 6 No. 4 in D Major; Allegro & Coda | Voices of Music
The concluding Allegro and Coda from Corelli's Concerto Grosso No. 4 in D Major, performed on original instruments by the Early Music ensemble Voices of Music .
300 years ago, Corelli's concertos, Op. 6, were published in 1714 in Amsterdam. These works dramatically affected the style of the baroque concerto for the next generation of composers. The reception of this magnificent collection, one of the crown jewels of baroque instrumental music, is in no small part due to the music publishing boom which began around 1690, as well as Corelli's signature set of trio sonatas, Opus 5, of which as Michael Talbot notes "at least 42 editions had appeared by 1800."
The wide availability of Corelli's works created an international Corellian style. The concertos are written in an expanded trio sonata style, with the two solo violins and cello forming a small ensemble within the larger tutti framework. The fourth concerto is noteworthy for its suave and serene introduction, the gracefulness of the dance movement, the exceptionally well-balanced counterpoint and harmony, and the furious concluding coda which flows out of the second ending of the last movement.
