Tune of the Day: Adagio by Corelli
from Violin Sonata in A major, transcribed for flute and keyboard
This miniature 3/2-time Adagio is the third movement of Italian Baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli's Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, which was originally published in 1700 as part of his 12 Violin Sonatas, Op. 5. As simple as it is, it makes for a good exercise in baroque ornamentation.
