--

Mini Concerto Grosso was written by Cláudio Santoro in 1981. It has three movements: 

I. Allegro (Moderato)
II. Andante (Lento)
III. Allegro (Finale)

A concerto grosso is a sub-genre of concerto that uses multiple soloists instead of a single one. The movements in a concerto grosso usually have different speeds and characters: 

The first movement is fast

The second movement is slow

The last movement is fast

The first movement contrasts the tutti and the soloists. The second movement is quiet, while the last movement is lively!
