THE SCORING OF EARLY CLASSICAL CONCERTOS, 1750-1780RICHARD MAUNDER

The period 1750-80 was a time when the concerto was evolving from the baroque version, typically played one-to-a part, towards the later, more ‘orchestral’ style. At the same time ideas about form were changing, as the Vivaldian ritornello pattern metamorphosed into the concerto-sonata form used by Mozart and his contemporaries. This book is organized on geographical lines, and there is a

detailed discussion of the music itself and of the original parts as evidence of the performance practice of the period.£60/$99 March 2014978 1 84383 893 7 1 b/w & 320 illus.; 304pp, HB
