Document Summary
Orchestral introduction: establishes the key and the mood of the concerto. Another type of sonata (to add to the two types of solo sonata)- trio sonata. Trio sonata is harder to spot, because there almost never are 3 different people. I can be 1 part with 2 on basso continuo, but one or more people can play the basso continuo. La primavera is the first movement from the four seasons. Dance suites are individual movements that are dances. They are all about the beat (read notes- terms in bold are ones we need to know) Became famous in italy, and then really became very famous in england. What he is most known for is his 39 italian-style operas. Da capo aria is a matter of form. You have music at the beginning, then a middle section that contrasts (usually short), and the last section returns to the beginning.
