as a melodic decorator in the solo eosition. The iece is also in a tye o ritornello orm – this is
a simle orm8 commonly used in the Baro2ue era.
Iitornello literally means to return – this uses
alternating sections 5etween solid material andsections called $eisodes& that are less sta5le –orchestral *ritornello1 and solo sections *eisodes1.
