Evidence indicates that the concertos of Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn etc
were performed as chamber music, not the full orchestral works
commonly assumed. The concertos of Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and their
contemporaries are some of the most popular, and the most
frequently performed, pieces of classical music; and the assumption
has always been they were full orchestral works. This book takes
issue with this orthodox opinion to argue quite the reverse: that
contemporaries regarded the concerto as chamber music. The author
surveys the evidence, from surviving printed and manuscript
performance material, from concerts throughout Europe between 1685
and 1750 (the heyday of the concerto), demonstrating that concertos
were nearly always played one-to-a-part at that time. He makes a
particularly close study of the scoring of the bass line,discussing
the question of what instruments were most appropriate and what was
used when. The late Dr RICHARD MAUNDER was Fellow of Christ's
College, Cambridge.
