Summary: "Concertos Without a Soloist" In many ways, the pieces considered here follow more or less the formula of the concerto grosso, where the melodic interplay occurs between the orchestra and a detachment of players within the orchestra (known as the concertino). This formula is exemplified by the selected concerti by Vivaldi and Corelli, both masters of the genre in their era. The other two pieces retained are 20th Century compositions, which find their inspiration from the old baroque formula. Details on our archives page @ https://archive.org/details/pcast190
