This
anthology presents organ,
harpsichord and piano
concertos - the majority
not hitherto published in
modern editions - by
Handel's contemporaries
and successors, including
works by Felton, Cooke,
William Hayes, Arne,
Chilcot, Philip Hayes,
Hook, Rush, Stanley,
Charles Wesley, Crotch,
Samuel Wesley and
Russell, from among the
200 examples surviving
from the period
c.1740-c.1815. Among the
most versatile genres of
the time, it found
popularity in pleasure
garden, theatre, concert
room and the home. The
contents of this volume
show the form adapting
well to the stylistic
evolutions of the period
from late Baroque via
continental gallant
styles to a mature
Classical style, though
retaining a strong native
tradition linked with
Handelian oratorio in the
idiomatic distinction
between virtuoso piano
concerto and concertos
for organ.
