The music of composer-violinist Giuseppe Tartini bridged the baroque and classical periods. His 135 violin concertos are filled with dramatic emotion, expressive nuances and harmonic subtleties. The fast dance-like outer movements demand considerable virtuosity while the inner slow movements are often in the form of an opera aria, graceful yet expressive, as can be heard in the second movement, �Lascia ch�io dica addio� (Let me say goodbye) of the Concerto in B minor, D.125.
