Summary/Abstract: From among the best works of Baroque concert music stand out the six concertos for two organs, composed by Soler, enriching the chamber music repertoire of the XVIIIth century Spain. Concerto 1 in C Major and Concerto 5 in A Major have many ingenious features one should dwell on, with respect to the discourse development, modulation dynamics, and rhythm. They introduce the sequencing technique and the Minuet - Minué as the second movement, all in a compositional unity revealing once more the composer’s great talent.
