These masterful works by the baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli (1653 1713) are among the earliest created in the concerto grosso form. They radiate a vibrant lyricism and crisp dignity of style that set them clearly apart from works by most earlier composers, who strove primarily for virtuoso brilliance and whimsy. This finely produced yet inexpensive paperback edition meticulously reproduces the scores of all twelve of Corelli's concerti grossi from a famous edition prepared by violinist Joseph Joachim and musicologist Friedrich Chrysander at the end of the nineteenth century. Corelli's concerti grossi for strings and continuo, most of them written in the last three decades of his life, were not published until 1714, the year following his death. Together with his other works four sets of trio sonatas and one set of violin sonatas they won him celebrity in his lifetime, great influence on other composers in the decades after his death, and a fervent admiration from musicians, critics, and audiences that has never declined through the centuries."

Unabridged republication of all nineteen Concerti grossi from volumes 21 and 30 of Georg Friedrich Händel's Werke as originally published in 1865 and 1869 by the Deutsche Händelgesellschaft in Leipzig".

This volume contains six complete piano concertos in full score: No. 17 in G Major, K.453; No. 18 in B-flat Major, K.456; No. 19 in F Major, K.459; No. 20 in D Minor, K.466; No. 21 in C Major, K. 467; No. 22 in E-flat Major, K. 482. Also included are Mozart's own cadenzas for Nos. 17, 18, and 19. All six concertos are photographically reprinted from the Breitkopf & Hartel printed text, still considered the standard, authoritative edition for the Mozart concertos. Noteheads in this edition are large enough to be read easily, and margins and spaces between staves permit written notes, harmonic analysis, fingerings, and running measure numbers. Since Mozart's piano concertos are frequently performed in concert and there are several recordings currently available for each of these pieces, this edition is extremely useful for study, reference, and enjoyment."
