Expressiveness is something that communicates a well-defined mood. In music, this is done by making notes mean something. With this, the audience doesn’t just hear music. They feel it. In a Youtube video of Corelli’s Christmas Concerto, an ensemble does this through many different ways. First, they made use of transitions. At 1:02, the players changed over into a faster tempo than before. The opposite is done at 1:22, where the change of tempo is done with one single note. The legato that dominates much of the music conveys a sense of calmness. On the other hand, the staccato-esque section and fast tempo from 1:02 to 1:22 creates a sense of tension in the piece. These two moods contrast each other and add another sense of dimension to the music.
