Concerto in the Old Style Concerto in A Minor (18th century style)-Now available for the very first time the reduction for violin and piano of Ottorino Respighi’s Concerto all’antica originally composed for violin and orchestra.Composed in 1908 Respighi’s Concerto all’antica reflects one of the most characteristic artistic aspects of this composer namely his love for ancient music. This can also be seen in those of his works that adopt the toccata and concertoforms (Toccata for piano and orchestra Concerto a cinque) as well as his use of the late Renaissance/Baroque style for the three suites in his Antiche danze ed arie per liuto or in his Uccelli. We find it again in hisSuites per istrumenti ad arco (1902) and his Concerto all’antica for violin (1908) here provided.
