 Francesco Geminiani: a detailed informative biography
London had become a major European music center, thanks in part to Handel, who had himself studied in Rome under Corelli and thus brought a measure of Italian musical style with him.
However, he was soon to return to London to make it his permanent home, although he did pay another visit to Dublin a few years later.
At this period of English musical life, as the essayist Roger North testified, Corelli's music had rapidly become the staple diet of players and music clubs alike: "Then came over Corelly's first consort that cleared the ground of all other sorts of musick whatsoever," wrote North in about 1726.

 What is basso continuo?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Continuo was standard practice in art music from roughly 1600 to the later 1700s.
Since the art of continuo playing is not widespread except among early music specialists, modern editions of early music typically include a keyboard part that consists of the original continuo part plus an editor's realization of the harmonies for the right hand.
In liturgical music of the late 1500s the organist sometimes played from a "basso seguente" part which was a compiled sequence of whatever the lowest note in the composed parts was at a given point in the score.
