What is the plural here. Is it ...Concerto's Grossi...or Concerti Grosso's.. I am not being smart I really am interested.

@HARMONICO101 TY much appreciated. Pls keep posting.. Do you have any baroque minuets. By Corelli. Iam learning what a Basso actually means and what instruments are used as the continuo line. Corelli seems to prefer the harpsichord where as Handel seemed to use the Lute a heck of a lot. What do you think Harminico

If you ever wondered what a concerto grosso was then you've got answer here. Corelli was (almost) the founding father this style.

And there wouldn't have been a Beatles without a Bach.

I once heard a very interesting comment on Corelli: it wouldn't have been a Vivaldi wihout Corelli, and there wouldn't have been a Bach without Vivaldi.

Each one was the inspiration of the other.But Corelli was the first to inspire!

@Davccelion I'm sure he was inspired as well

[Davccelion]

Interesting painting as well. Looks like some kind of fighting going on.

This is a interesting piece, thanks for posting. I have only recently been discovering more of Corelli's work other than the well known "Christmas Concerto"
