Adam LaMotte - solo violin Arranged by Charles Avison Members of Ars Lyrica Houston perform at Zilkha Hall, Hobby Center on September 24, 2010. This concerto comes from a set of twelve arrangements made by English organist and composer Charles Avison from Scarlatti keyboard sonatas. Published in 1743, this concerto fed the craze for such works, launched by Geminiani's arrangements of Corelli sonatas just a few years before, and helped to popularize Scarlatti's music in England. Scored for two concertino (solo) plus two ripieno (tutti) violins plus viola, cello and continuo, these concerti respect the content of the original sonatas while adapting them idiomatically to string instruments. © Matthew Dirst
