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.
