This playlist is dedicated to all of my uploads that have low view counts for some reason or another. I love every piece that I upload on this channel, and I feel that many of these pieces of music require a little more attention.

Enjoy!

On Corelli when he played the violin:

"His countenance was distorted, his eyes red as fire, and his eyeballs rolled as if he were in agony"

- John Walsh

Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) was arguably the first composer to be revered long after his death, as well as the first great violinist. Often nicknamed "the father of the concerto grosso", Corelli firmly established the trio sonata and the concerto grosso form, and was perhaps the most influential composer of the middle baroque. Handel, Vivaldi, and Geminiani all studied under him, and J.S. Bach wrote a fugue on a theme from one of his pieces. Numerous composers arranged his music, nad dedicated pieces to him. His Opus 6 of 12 concerti grossi, was one of the few musical publications from the baroque era to be published long after his death, and his op. 5 violin sonatas (including the famous 'la folia' variations) are amoung the greatest violin sonatas in all of classical music.
