		Concerto grosso per i New Trolls, one of their best sellers, had a gatefold laminated cover with record inserted from the top, later pressings had a standard side opening and in some cases non-laminated covers.
		Concerto grosso n.2, has a glossu gatefold cover, but there are copies, which can be dated from the SIAE stamp around 1979-80 that have a standard smooth cover, the cardboard used being thinner than the originals.
		Concerto grosso was also released in France on Les Disques Pierre Cardin label (cat.no.122) in a single cover with rounded corners, and a single from the album on the same label, with Adagio and Allegro had a fl and white picture cover and catalogue number 25001.

	Concerto [M.Tevfik Dorak]
		Concerto grosso was an expansion and elaboration of contrapuntal trio sonata which may be played by as few as four or, by doubling the parts many times, by up to 60 players.
		In Beethoven's concertos, the relationship between solo and tutti is one of Classic balance and proportion, while in many virtuoso concertos of the later nineteenth century, the orchestral accompaniment provides some background in front of which the performer may shine.
		The latest innovation in the concerto form in the twentieth century was the Concerto for Orchestra (for example by Bartok) in which different players and groups of players in the orchestra have varying prominent role in the concerto.

	Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Concerto
		The second type was the concerto grosso, which featured a small group of solo instruments — often two violins and cello (with harpsichord) — set against the larger forces of the orchestra.
		The solo concerto seems to be one of those forms that has an intrinsic genius, offering drama, excitement, the persuasiveness of the individual voice, the power of massed forces — whether in opposition to or in support of the individual voice — and the chance to exploit and exhibit great individual accomplishments.
		The concerto repertoire for cello probably comes in third behind that of piano and violin for quantity and quality, but Mozart alone wrote four French horn concertos, two flute concertos, a concerto for violin and viola, one for flute and harp, and concertos for clarinet, oboe, and bassoon.

	The Organ Connection - Development of the Concerto
		The term "concerto grosso" actually means "great concerto" and recently in the 20th century, the form has seen somewhat of a revival with composers such as Vaughan Williams and Bloch using the form for their own compositions.
		Already the concerto had progressed from concerto grosso to solo concerto and Vivaldi had already begun to compose in a style similar to that to be adopted in the classical period.
		It is amazing to view the changes made to the concerto, from the first signs of the form in the renaissance period, through the development of the concerto grosso in the baroque period.

	concerto. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The form known as concerto grosso is characterized by a small group of solo players contrasted with the full orchestra.
		Bach’s six Brandenburg concertos and the concertos of Handel represent the fullest development of the baroque type.
		Mozart established the classical concerto in three movements, the first of which is a fusion of ritornello form with the newer sonata form, for solo instrument and orchestra.

	Pro Arte: Polansky; Concerto Grosso Moderno (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The idea of writing the Concerto Grosso Moderno was inspired by the popular concerti grossi of the Baroque era, whose format, I surmised, is an equally befitting way of evoking the aesthetics of modern music.
		In the Concerto Grosso Moderno, conciseness is attained through the use of only several, succinct thematic ideas; cohesion, by building up the work from transformations of those ideas; and clarity, by means of articulating the boundaries of those transformations with alternating ensemble and tutti passages throughout the entire work.
		It is the idea of contrast, as a basic element of any concerto grosso, traditional or modern, that provides not only clarity, but also the opportunity for sufficient development within a short span of time so that depth is not sacrificed for the sake of conciseness.

	The Baroque Concerto
		While concertos were being written for almost every imaginable instrument as soloist with orchestra, together with various combinations, the harpsichord remained the poor workhorse of baroque music, its purpose being to act as continuo providing a background harmonic base and a thump to keep the orchestra in time.
		Interestingly, Bach's Concerto for 4 Harpsichords and Orchestra is an adaptation of a concerto for 4 violins and strings by Vivaldi.
		Bach's concertos for harpsichord and orchestra were to be the models for the future piano concertos by Mozart Haydn and Beethoven, through the 'romantics' such as Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky.

	Notes on Concerto Grosso for Two Violins, Opus 8, #2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Mention the word “concerto,” and images of a virtuoso soloist playing passionately while the orchestra dutifully accompanies, rise unbidden.
		In fact, that conception of a concerto is a product of the nineteenth century; the term “concerto” was used to refer to a variety of different musical forms since the early 1500s.
		Experiments with ritornello and episodic lengths marked the concerti of Opus 6, which came to be characterized by their broad episodes and ritornellos recurring midway and at the conclusion, in a form similar to the later rondo.

	classical music - andante - penderecki's concerto grosso for three cellos and orchestra
		The Concerto Grosso's writing is fairly conventional, very much like BartÃ³k and Shostakovich, with a flavor of late Mahler and with few tone clusters (Penderecki's trademark in the 1960s).
		As its Baroque-ish title suggests, the Concerto Grosso's three cellos (the concertino) alternate with the orchestra (the ripieno) and with sporadic solo passages for flute and piccolo, oboe, bassoon, violin, double bass, marimba, etc. The orchestral forces are not overly large - quite like those of Beethoven's 5th (plus harp and extra percussion).
		The rhapsodic Piano Concerto No. 1 (the Concerto No. 2 had been originally planned) by the 21-year-old composer has some demanding passages - particularly the machine-gun chords spanning the piano's whole range at the finale, which was executed in a solid, steely manner.

		He wrote two concerti for flute (as well as one for Flute and Harp), and one for each oboe, clarinet, harp, and bassoon, four for horn, and a sinfonia concertante for violin and viola.
		The slow movement is a dramatic dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra.
		Brahms contributed to the repertoire with a Double Concerto for violin, cello and orchestra.

	Concerto grosso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Composers such as Francesco Geminiani and Giuseppe Torelli wrote concerti in the style of Corelli, and he also had a strong influence on Antonio Vivaldi.
		In Corelli's day, two distinct forms of the concerto grosso were distinguished: the concerto da chiesa (church concert) and the concerto da camera (chamber concert).
		Several of the Brandenburg Concerti of Johann Sebastian Bach also loosely follow the concerto grosso form, notably the 2nd Concerto, which has a concertino of recorder, oboe, trumpet, and solo violin.

	the TRUE 100-day test scores of Concerto Grosso

		Concerto Grosso showed twice in Hunter Breeding as 3-yr old and got second place (reserve champ.) in both Lexington, VA, and Warrenton, VA, at A-shows, was only narrowly beaten by the current hunter breeding horse of the year (TB!).

	Herbie Mann : Concerto Grosso in D Blues - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Right after the 1968 Berlin Jazz Days festival, Mann, his quintet, co-composer/conductor William Fischer, and a team of 80 Berlin musicians entered Teldec studios to record the huge, ambitious title piece, a concerto that successfully spans the decades from Tchaikovsky to Stockhausen, and from New Orleans to free jazz.
		With some stretches of group improvisation, the piece has structure, memorable yet surprisingly simple motifs, and holds together even when stretched to the limits of coherence by general outbreaks of freeform.
		The best of the lot, the wistful "My Little Ones" (written for Mann's children), contains what is perhaps Mann's most haunting solo on record, at once loving and soaring, backed perfectly by Fischer's economical writing for double string quartet.

		Concerto Grosso is a work of differences: Sometimes brutal and wild, then again introvert and intimate, with lots of space for virtuosity in the string quartet.
		This quartet is allowed to exploit the sounds of the instruments, while being surrounded by the wild sound bodies of the orchestra.
