| These are essentially string
concertos but the title page says you can add 2 flutes and bassoon. There
are indications of where flutes play in concertos 3, 4 and 5, although, if
the flutes only played in these places, they would have a rather boring
time! The bassoon is not mentioned until the 6th concerto where it does have
a genuinely independent part for most of the concerto. The solo cello is
relegated to the continuo bass for these passages and, as both staves are in
the same part, the cello obviously plays these passages when there is no
bassoon. |
