That's right - I've fixed the article. --Camembert

Shouldn't there be some media clips to listen to so viewers get to see the difference of sound between the Solo Concerto and Concerto Grosso??? Something like this... Media:ClassicalArchives_BACH_bc2_1_LF.mid??? --Etruscanian 18:29, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

I never understood, what is the difference between a cencerto and a concerto grosso? I think we should state in the article what the difference is. Thanks!The Pink Panther (talk) 21:52, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of solo concerto[edit]

The definition of solo concerto in the first paragraph is problematic -- in the typical baroque Vivaldian concerto the primary melodic impetus comes from the orchestral ritornello. A solo part entirely composed of non-melodic figurations would not be very extraordinary. The idea of the orchestra "accompanying" (literally) a soloist essentially never happens in the Baroque, insofar as most instruments are not loud enough to be heard in this situation, especially given Baroque-period instruments. In the Corellian concerto, there often isn't even a real melody in the fast movements, just figures and counterpoint devices. --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 01:16, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
