Evaristo Dall'Abaco was an Italian composer and cellist of the Baroque era. He was born in Verona in 1675 and died in Munich in 1742. He was a member of the Bavarian court orchestra and composed a number of works for various instruments, including the Concerto a quattro da chiesa No.5 in G minor, Op. 2/5. The Concerto a quattro da chiesa No.5 in G minor, Op. 2/5 was composed in the early 18th century and premiered in Munich. It is a four-movement work for two violins, viola, and basso continuo. The first movement is marked Allegro and is in G minor. It is a lively and energetic movement with a strong sense of rhythm and a memorable melody. The second movement is marked Adagio and is in E-flat major. It is a slow and expressive movement with a beautiful melody that is passed between the instruments. The third movement is marked Allegro and is in G major. It is a fast and lively movement with a playful and dance-like character. The final movement is marked Allegro and is in G minor. It is a lively and energetic movement with a strong sense of rhythm and a memorable melody. The Concerto a quattro da chiesa No.5 in G minor, Op. 2/5 is a typical example of the Baroque concerto grosso form, in which a small group of soloists (in this case, two violins and viola) are accompanied by a larger ensemble (in this case, basso continuo). The work is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythms, memorable melodies, and expressive use of harmony. It is a fine example of Dall'Abaco's skill as a composer and his ability to write music that is both technically demanding and musically satisfying.
