The authors aim to bring this repertory to greater prominence and have, since 1995, been involved in a research programme of scoring and analysing over nine hundred concertos, representing nearly the entire repertory available in early prints and manuscripts. Drawing on this research, they present a detailed study and analysis of the first-movement ritornello form, the central concept that enabled composers to develop musical thinking on a large scale. Their approach is firstly to present the ritornello form as a rhetorical argument, a musical process that dynamically unfolds in time; and secondly to challenge notions of a linear stylistic development from baroque to classical, instead discovering composers trying out different options, which might themselves become norms against which new experiments could be made.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSIMON McVEIGH is Professor of Music, Goldsmiths College, University of London; JEHOASH HIRSHBERG is Professor in the Musicology Department, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boydell Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47587689431191,"sku":"9781843830924","price":16437.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781843830924.webp?v=1774967089","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-italian-solo-concerto-1700-1760-rhetorical-strategies-and-style-history-9781843830924","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
