Abstract

In the development of the music, the ritornello form with the theme of main part for tune shift and reproduction is one of the main forms next to fugue in the Baroque Music period, which embodies the principle of the cyclic form as well as the Rondo. In 1708, the Italian composer Giuseppe Torelli first applied the form to the first movement of the sixth concerto in Op. 8. On the basis of the analysis and research of this movement, this paper summarizes the structural characteristics of the ritornello form which was first used in the Baroque Concerto genre.
