Arcangelo Corelli: Concerto Grosso 8 Opus 6: Organ: Instrumental Work

Arcangelo Corelli a contribué à développer l'art du Concerto grosso, qui consiste à opposer un groupe de solistes (le conccertino) à un orchestre à cordes avec basse continue qui l'accompagne (le ripieno ou concerto grosso).Dans le Concerto grosso #8, le concertino est composé de deux violons et un violoncelle. Il s'avère que l'on entend très souvent ce Concerto Grosso pour la nuit de Noël sous forme réduite pour quatuor à cordes - l'oeuvre n'y perdant pas de son caractère. / 4 Clarinettes Et Quatuors De Clarinettes
