Concerto per violino, archi e basso continuo in d minore "Il cromatico"

 

This is my latest violin concerto (46) written in the late italian language.

In the baroque affects the chromatic passage is symbolic for the fall to hell. So I guess that is what the concerto is all about.

I. Allegro - Opening ritonello with chromatic passage (the fall), then 16 notes figures (the lashing fire of hell). The lyrical solo section (the pain and sorrow).

II. Adagio - The agony

III. Vivace  - The fury

This is a really weird concerto, please tell me what you think 🙂

Thank you very much Luis!

Its shall be c minor!! Wrong typing on my behalf. 🙂 Do you mean the unision sections in the vivace? - If so, its actually quite common in the style to do this, go from 4 or 5 part to one melodic line in unison (as long as its one melodic line, its not considered parallel octaves, but as doubling the melody the voice. Like the cello and bass (the 8" and the 16" on the organ).
Its usually a rhetorical tool used in the end of a section. 

Hm, might be some romantic sound in there. Baroque music tends to sound romantic at times when there is a lot of chromatic. But every progression is well grounded in the basics. 🙂 That is what I think is amusing, many argue that rules and form is a limit. I really don't agree.

Now i'm rambling again! Anyways thank you for listening and commenting!
