Cuiabá (pop., 2002: 493,200) was founded in 1719 after gold was discovered nearby. In 1748 Mato Grosso became an independent captaincy, in 1822 a province of the empire, and in 1889 a state of the federal union. One of the few great frontier regions still in existence, it consists of grassland, dense forest, and highland plains, with some areas that remain largely unexplored
concerto grosso
Principal orchestral music of the Baroque era, characterized by contrast between a small group of soloists and a larger orchestra. The small group (concertino) usually consisted of two violins and continuo, the instruments of the older trio sonata, though wind instruments were also used. The larger group (ripieno) generally consisted of strings with continuo. Alessandro Stradella (1642-82) wrote the first known concerto grosso 1675. Arcangelo Corelli's set of 12 ( 1680-90), Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos ( 1720), and George Frideric Handel's Opus 6 concertos ( 1740) are the most celebrated examples. From 1750 the concerto grosso was eclipsed by the solo concerto
