In spite of their drastically reduced instrumental resources, these works are indeed ‘Italian’ concertos, and feature distinguishable solo episodes and ritornellos. As do Boismortier’s other surviving concertos, they provide evidence of the composer’s ingenuity and originality, and his ability to write what are normally largescale instrumental works with the simplest of means.
