Now available for the very first time, the reduction for violin and piano of Ottorino RespighiŒÍs Concerto allŒÍantica, originally composed for violin and orchestra.
Composed in 1908, RespighiŒÍs Concerto allŒÍantica reflects one of the most characteristic artistic aspects of this composer, namely his love for ancient music. This can also be seen in those of his works that adopt the toccata and concerto forms (Toccata for piano and orchestra, Concerto a cinque), as well as his use of the late Renaissance/Baroque style for the three suites in his Antiche danze ed arie per liuto or in his Uccelli. We find it again in his Suites per istrumenti ad arco (1902) and his Concerto allŒÍantica for violin (1908) here provided.
