For the six concertos that make up the second part of the Op. 4 Locatelli prescribed eight parts: Violino Primo Secondo Alto è Violoncello Soli. Violino Primo Secondo Alto è Basso Ripieni. The use of such forces immediately reminds one of the Corellian concerto grosso to which Locatelli contributed also in his Op. 1 7 and 9. But though the instrumentation used in this set seems to feature a clear opposition between the concertino (with solo parts) and the ripieno (with parts that can be doubled) we here encounter a group of works that are very varied in form instrumentation and structure. Taken as a whole the concertos of the Op. 4 ideally exemplify thedevelopments of Italian Baroque instrumental music: they reveal the close kinship between the concerto grosso and the sonata (as in Concerto X); they also show the derivation of the solo concerto from the concerto grosso; and there are even hints of thematic development and tripartite structures. Also featured are dynamic markings and other performing indications that were rare for the period and show increasing attention to the precise definition of sonorities.

Written for the Smith Quartet the title refers to some of the many different meanings of the word 'catch' - fishing tricks rounds. The result is a twelve-minute piece played continuously and full of canonic writing and musical games.

Into the faded air was commissioned by Britten Sinfonia for first performance at Filharmonic Hall Krakow Poland on Sunday 13th January 2008 with Jacqueline Shave (Violin) Miranda Dale (Violin) Clare Finnimore(Viola) Catherine Musker (Viola) Caroline Dearnley (Cello) and Banjamin Chappell (Cello).Scoring: String Sextet (2 Violins 2 Violas and 2 Cellos)Duration: 10 minutes Composer'sNotes 'Into The Faded Air is cast in four movements although the last three movements are played without a break.In the first movement the sextet is divided into twogroups. The first group consisting of violin viola and cello plays a sustained melody while the second group (also violin viola and cello) contributes more jagged and intricate material. The second movement is an extended duetfor two violas accompanied by the other instruments. As the movement progresses the accompanying instruments become more prominent. The third movement is the only fast movement in the piece with rapid semiquavers and much useof pizzicato throughout. This leads into a serene chorale where the three upper instruments (two violins and first viola) are set against the second viola and two cellos.' - HelenGrime

Le Haendel op. 6 concertos sont des joyaux absolu de la littérature orchestre à cordes baroque. Alors que les parties à ces concertos sont largement disponibles à partir d'un certain nombre de sources, ils ne contiennent pas de coups d'archet ou doigtés, et pas des indications de phrasé. Beaucoup de chefs d'orchestre n'ont pas le temps de préparer les pièces qui sont disponibles à l'achat ou télécharger avec ces marques, mais sans modification en profondeur, il est extrêmement difficile d'obtenir une musicalement unifiée des performances de haute qualité de ces pièces. C'est mon espoir que cette édition va répondre aux besoins de la communauté éducative de chaîne qui sont intéressés dans la réalisation de ces travaux. / Orchestre A Cordes
