The Romantic Era is arguably one of the most profound periods of time in music history. This was a point where musical forms‚ styles and progressions had been established for some time and are now taking a creative turn. New forms‚ harmonies and colors are composed during this era and one of the many inventions to come out of this time is the saxophone. The saxophone is one of the most versatile instruments to have ever been created. In the early to mid-1800’s‚ a Belgian-French instrument maker

Trio sonatas were composed in the style of da chiesa (to be performed in the church) or da camera (to be performed in the courts of noblemen and aristocrats). Trio sonata evolved into solo sonatas where a solo instrument such as violin‚ flute‚ oboe or cello

In the midst of the Baroque era‚ Antonio Vivaldi helped give rise to a new style of music‚ a concerto. More importantly‚ his work began the search for a new identity of a concerto. An identity that is known as a concerto grosso. Several of Vivaldi’s movements consisted of more than one soloist supported by an orchestra. However‚ the piece I am going to discuss only consists of a single soloist and his or her accompaniment. Vivaldi composed a series containing four separate parts‚ but I am only relating

It started off with the soprano singing with a high pitch voice; then the alto
