Aug 24, 2008 - His "Capriccios" were the prototype for the later Cadenza weren't they? Except they were fully notated.

HARMONICO101 Says:

Aug 24, 2008 - Not really. Candenzas and improvisation had been around for a long time.

egapnala65 Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - Indeed, but I cannot think of any concerti pre or contemporary to Locatelli that has them in the specific place (ie before the coda).I shall google and make sure but I believe he was the first.

HARMONICO101 Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - There are a lot of pieces that do. I can't remember specifically, but there are a number of Vivaldi concertos that imply candenzas. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, has an implied candenza in the second movement for the harpsichord (although some would debate that). His fourth Brandenburg has a fully realised harpsichord cadenza.

Aug 25, 2008 - Heh. Yes...

egapnala65 Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - Indeed but Vivaldi was contemporary, and Bach was later.I can't think of any Corelli or Albinoni Concerti (who were earlier) as having such things, and in Vivaldi they seem pretty rare.I think there may have been an earlier vocal tradition, but I think the tradition (as we know it instrumentally) starts here.

HARMONICO101 Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - Bach was contemporary (1685-1750). Locatelli (1695-1764).

Aug 25, 2008 - Yes you are right. "Art of Violin" (1733) Brandenburgs(1721).Apologies.
