His compositional output was not large, but the development of the printing press enabled his music to be widely circulated. Musically, he bridged the gap between the Baroque and the Classical periods, and is seen as pivotal in the development of the sonata and the concerto. Even today, Corelli’s music is held in high esteem, with composers still inspired by his music. As a violinist he was also legendary, and people flocked from all over Europe to not only hear him play, but to also be taught by him. Corelli spent most of his career in Rome, maintained in some luxury by royalty, nobility and the Church. During his career he collaborated with many other composers including Alessandro Scarlatti and Handel. Despite his fame and continued popularity, we still know relatively little about Corelli, and this Composer of the Week series seeks to explore the man and his music through his personal and professional relationships.\n\nMusic featured:\nSonata in G minor, Op 4 No 2 (Corrente)\nConcerto Grossi, Op 6 No 3\nSonata in G, Op 1 No 9\nHandel: La Resurrezione (Ho un non so che nel cor)\nSonata in F major, Op 5 No 10\nConcerto Grosso in D, Op 6 No 1\nFuga con un soggetto solo\nSonata in G minor, Op 5 No 5\nSonata in F, Op 1 No 1\nSonata in A minor, Op 1 No 4\nSonata in B minor, Op 3 No 4\nSonata in F minor, Op 3 No 9\nConcerto Grosso in F, Op 6 No 12\nSonata in D \nSonata in B major, Op 2 No 5\nSonata in E flat major, Op 2 No 11\nSinfonia to Santa Beatrice d’Este in D minor, WoO1\nConcerto in G minor, Op 6 No 8 (Christmas Concerto)\nSonata in C, Op 5 No 9\nSonata in A minor, op 4 No 5\nSonata in B minor, op 4 No 12\nSonata in C, Op 2 No 3\nSonata in F major, Op 2 No 7\nHandel: Sonata a 5, HWV288 (Violin Concerto in B flat)\nSonata in G minor WoO2\nCorelli Arr.
