Corelli signed the dedication for Op. The two volumes did not appear until As a genre, the concerto grosso was a logical outgrowth of the trio sonata. The evolution came about in stages. The differentiation of a concertino group of soloists from a ripieno had been found abundantly in the early years of the seventeenth century. The difference would be expressed in written notation by clustering like-timbred instruments as in modern scores. This clarified the on-again, off-again nature of collaboration between the groups.

The concerto grosso was both more economical and more articulate.

Adagio and Largo passages are inclined to be short and transitional. The last four works are modeled on the sonata da camera , the "chamber" sonata. Most employ suite movements such as allemandes, sarabandes, correntes, and gigues. They do not employ the fussy tempo contrasts allegro, adagio, et al. The long-time favorite of Op.

Note the differences in designating bass and basso continuo in the printed collections in the following table instrument names in parentheses indicate the lack of an independent part.
