"Despite the modest size of his output, comprising six collections of instrumental music and a handful of other authentic works ... Corelli exercised an unparalleled influence during his lifetime and for a long time afterwards ... In England, particularly his op. 6 concertos were regarded as classics; they continued to be played, and preferred even to those of Handel, well into the 19th century."
