Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Editeur(s) d'origine: Caldini, Sandro/Caldini, Fulvio/ Répertoire / Hautbois et Basse Continue

It is generally quite easy to adapt sonatas for Baroque oboe (and continuo) to the soprano recorder since both instruments have an identical range. Yet considering the great popularity of the previously published works it is strange that Antonio Vivaldi's only sonata for this instrument has received little attention to date.This edition is based on a manuscript preserved in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek Dresden under the class. no. Mus. 2389-S-1. The preparation of the edition entailed the adjustment of the accidentals to present-day practice and the realization of the (unfigured) thoroughbass part. No slurs were added to those already contained in themanuscript so as to allow the performer to find his own solutions. Otherwise the virtually error-free manuscript was reproduced without change.
