Concerto grosso
This is an instrumental composition from the Baroque era in which the full orchestra (called ripieno) contrasts with a smaller group of instruments (called concertino).
In the excerpt below, you will see the concertino group in front of the larger ripieno.
This comes up a lot in Higher papers. Please take a few minutes to be clear about concerto grosso, ripieno and concertino.
