Four Nations NYC School of Corelli

The School of Corelli

New Year's day 1700 and Corelli publishes his opus 5 sonatas, possibly the most influential collection of sonatas in music history.  Every composer in every country followed his lead and used his trios and solos as models for their own work.  The program explores the large reach and varied responses to the Italian sonata as charted by Corelli.
