| | Boismortier, Corrette, and Le Phenix (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | The concerto, developed in Italy in the late 17th- and early 18thcenturies by Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713), Giuseppe Torelli (1658-1709), and Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1750), and brought to fruition by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), did not appear as a genre in France until the late 1720s. |
 | | The violoncello is listed first and it is apparent that these works were originally conceived with a stringed instrument in mind since stopped chords (double, triple, and quadruple) are included. |
 | | The quadruple "Concerto" in E minor is similar to Boismortier's pathbreaking chamber concertos, the quintuple flute concertos. |
