Product Description

Handels great set of 12 Concerti grossi (= Grand Concertos, in the first edition) op. 6 are somehow a bit related in spirit, through their power and diversity, with Beethovens string quartets. Therefore, here they are arranged for the more abstract and timeless medium of the string quartet, allowing also for an addition to the repertoire of the respective ensembles. Articulation, tempo and dynamics indications were specified or added where needed, and all the trills were indicated to start with the upper auxiliary note, not only according to the Baroque performance practice but also fitting to the melodic contour. The movements of Concerto grosso in A minor, op. 6 no. 4: 1. Larghetto affettuoso solemn, melancholy and broad; 2. Allegro an energetic, syncopated and somber fugue; 3. Largo a sublime, soft and simple sarabande in F major, with walking bass; 4. Allegro restless and dramatic. Total duration 10 min. The mp3 audio clip is the third movement.
