Francesco Geminiani by François Boucher
Imagine that you studied music with a composer who was hugely famous in his day and even after he died his violin sonatas remained popular and continued to be played. Then you, in tribute AND as a smart business move, expand your late teacher’s sonatas into orchestrated concertos that conjure the late master’s spirit, explore and expand his character, and give a craving public something - sort of - “new” by the late composer. Well that’s what Francesco Geminiani did, and you’ll hear his resulting Concerto Grosso #10 (of 12) after sonatas by Corelli today at 2:00pm on CapRadio Music. And yes, they proved VERY popular.
