The six CONCERTI ARMONICI was long thought to be the work of the violinist-impresario Carlo Ricciotti or composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, but more recent research has revealed the composer to be Unico Wilhelm van Wassenauer (1692-1766). Born into a wealthy Dutch family, the diplomat and composer founded a Collegium musicum in The Hague under the oversight of Ricciotti. Composed between 1725 and 1740, the six concertos have been falsely attributed to a variety of contemporaries, Ricciotti and Pergolesi amongst them, since its anonymous publication. Wassenauer's aristocratic background was the reason for his secretiveness. The sentiment of the time ordained that musicians belong to the lower classes. This edition of CONCERTINO No. 2 (also CONCERTO ARMONICO in G Major, CONCERTO IV, or just CONCERTINO in G), drawing from the CONCERTO ARMONICO in G Major, IUW 3, was edited by 20th century Baroque expert Fritz Rikko. Rikko spuriously attributes the work to Pergolesi. Despite Wassenauer's authorship having since been confirmed, Rikko's original editorial notes have been retained. Instrumentation: Str (4 Vn parts [2.2.2.2].3.2.2): Harpsichord Continuo in score.

This exciting work does wonders with the full spectrum of sounds available to string orchestra; spiccato, col legno (witht the stick), harmonics, tremolo, and more.  These effects serve the musical idea, which is an exciting minor mode theme reminiscent of a movie soundtrack.  This is one piece your orchestra will ask to play again and again!

A rousing concert ender, this work will challenge all sections with a wide range (every part shifts), running passage work, trills, and syncopated rhythms.  The B section, a lyric waltz theme, shows off the principal players with extended solos.  The return of the A section superimposes the waltz melody on the original syncopated theme for a wonderful conclusion.
