In the late sixteenth century it was a sound based on the instrumental families that had been developed since the
medieval period.
Sound
The melody was sung mainly, but around 1625 they began to appear collections of sonatas for solo and continuo instrument, especially for
violin, an instrument with a long tradition in northern Italy. The family of violins
had a contemporary development to Violas shrimp during the XVI century. Unlike the latter had no frets, but as
happened with those was made following the scheme of family sizes
and voices.
Melody
For 1650 they were already made in Germany instruments of these styles, made with the same technology as those produce in the workshop of Cremona by Guarneri, Stradivari or Amati.
Around this time in Italy began to popularize the concept of concerto, played basically a set of violins and violas with a continuous bass guitar. This Italian scheme developed for the early XVIII century in an
international style with strong roots especially in France and
Germany.
History
The set of strings of the French court: "24 violins of the
King", also called grande bande, were expanded with a group of oboes and flutes, due
to the French tradition of manufacturing these
instruments, exemplified in the late XVII century early XVIII
composers and producers like Michael Philidor or Hotteterre
brothers.
In the same way, so popular instruments like the flute also
made as families were used as soloist instruments or as part of
the instrumental group already mentioned.
Another important contribution was instrumental group of brass
instruments. Natural trumpets and horns were added to the previous ensemble enriching its timbre and
sonority.
