Edited by Allan Badley

Performance material for hire
ISMN:979-0-67451-545-0

Saint-Georges published his concertos and symphonies concertantes in pairs, typically with one work scored for strings alone and the other with wind instruments, although this is not signalled on the title pages. Saint-Georges typically does not entrust the auxiliary parts with presenting thematic material, but their presence adds both to the weight and brilliance of the ritornello sections. The scoring in the solo sections is unusually delicate even by the standards of the mid eighteenth-century concerto with its frequent use of two- and three-part string textures, and this serves as a reminder that concertos were performed and thought of as a type of chamber music at the time even when they were played by expanded forces as was likely the case with Saint-Georges’s concertos.
