| Added by magataganm, 03 Jan 2015 Although Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) had already accomplished himself as a composer of violin sonatas and of sacred music, nothing propelled his career more than his first set of concertos -- L'estro armonico (Op.3) -- which first appeared in 1711. Besides being widely popular with both musicians and audiences of the day, L'estro armonico had a significant impact on the development of the relatively new solo-concerto. The set's influence was felt all across Europe -- no less a figure than J.S. Bach transcribed six of the Op.3 concertos for keyboard. This, the Violin Concerto in D Major (RV 212) was composed in 1712 as ‘Per la Solennità della S. Lingua di S. Antonio in Padoa’; most of the original 2nd mvt has been lost due to source damage with only a set of parts copied by Pisendel on Venetian paper & dated ‘1712’ remaining. Little is written of this particular work and it is seldom performed. Although originally scored for Violin and Strings (2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Bass & Continuo), I created this arrangement for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
