Concerto Grosso for flute quintet

Locatelli’s Concerto Grosso follows the example of Arcangelo Corelli’s composition of the same name. Here he have four movements that include a “Grave” that is mournful, a “Vivace” that is an energetic fugue, and two very different “Andante” movements – one classy and courtly, the other walking and lively. Providing an option beyond performing this with five flutes, a bass clef part is included for cello or bassoon.
