1600-1750 - 3Tonality. From bar 12
the addition of G#s starts to modulate the music to the dominant key of
A major. A perfect cadence in this key is reached at bars 16–17 (V7–I). The
music then modulates to the dominant of the dominant key – E major
– through the addition of D♯s from bar 23. A perfect cadence in that key
occurs in bars 24–25. However, within a couple of bars the music has
returned to the dominant key of A major with a perfect cadence in bars
28–29. The tonic key of D major is reached at bar 37. There are then a few
passing modulations (lasting only a bar or so) before a perfect cadence
in the tonic key of D major at bars 63–64, and another, final perfect
cadence in D again at bars 77–78. The music then moves straight into the
relative minor key of B minor for the start of Section B. - 4TOnic key of Section AD major

D major. - 6Section A Texturepredominantly contrapuntal and fugal.
The texture in the concertino builds up from monophonic, a single melodic
line, to two-part counterpoint to
three-part counterpoint and then four-part counterpoint . At this point, more ripieno parts join in until all are playing by bar
33. Apart from a few rests, the texture remains quite full until the end of the
section at bar 78. - 7—
