In all dance forms, thythm is uppermost. In addition to the normal accent, note the sostenuto sign ( f) over the first note of each measure in the right hand. All slurs should be tossed of rather sharply. Give a rather vigorous treatment throughout to suggest the clumping of the heavy wooden shoes.

Arcangelo Corelli was one of the very early Italian musicians and was recognized in his day as a great violinist and composer. Very little is known of his life until he settled in Rome at the age of 28, where he enjoyed the friendship and patronage of Catdinal Ottoboni, a lover of the arts in general and of music especially. Corelli made friends with many famous painters and his chief hobby was that of collecting valuable pictures.
His greatest wotk was the Concerti-grossi which was published only six weeks before his death. He was buried in the Pantheon at Rome not far from the tomb of the famous painter, Raphael. Catdinal Ottoboni erected a handsome monument to his memory and a statue of him was placed in the Vatican.
It is claimed
he laid a firm foundation for future violin technic and that his works advanced materiallv. the progress of musical composition.
