Concerto per violino, archi e bc. Paradiso e inferno

Concerto per violino, archi e bass continuo in b minor "Paradiso e inferno". written 20.06.19 - 25.06.19.

Been some time since i wrote a concerto, so here is my summer contribution. Three part concerto written in the late italian school.

I. Allegro - paradiso: 4/4 time, livly tempo and fugures, high in the register of the violin (Heaven it is!), the triumph key of d major.

II. Adagio - cadere dalla grazia (fall from grace) 4/4 time. slow pace, rethorical use of rets, b, minor

III. Vivace - inferno, 4/4 time, fast pace, slaming fugres, chromatic downward passages (going down to hell), b minor

Please tell me what you think

Vivaldi reborn! Very nice job. Sounded like one of his concerti from La Cetra.

Thank you very much for your kind comment. Still 300 years away from the master himself, but I hope I can deliver quality music in the a exciting musical langauge 🙂

Nice work. Similar upper parts to Zelenka's Oratorio, ZWV 61. Pleasure to listen to, thanks. We have a mutual fascination in 18th century music it would seem! 😃

Very nice indead. The bass of the first movement is very well done, very bright movement. I love the electric rythm of the last one, it perfectly fits with the title.
