In a
miscellaneous manuscript
in the Este Music
Collection belonging to
the Österreichische
Nationalbibliothek in
Vienna, a new sonata for
violin and basso continuo
by Antonio Vivaldi has
recently been identified.
Although it has until now
been attributed by
default to the Bolognese
Giuseppe Aldrovandini, by
virtue of a heading
written (but subsequently
rubbed out) by the
copyist of the manuscript
on one of the pages of
the violin part, this
sonata has been
recognized as an
authentic composition by
the Red Priest. This work
- which can be placed
chronologically no later
than the middle of the
1710s - represents the
most clear-cut example in
Vivaldi's music of a
“Sonate auf
Concertenart”: more
specifically, a kind of
solo sonata for violin
that the Red Priest could
perform in order to show
off his prowess on that
instrument, as signalled
by the presence of many
passages featuring double
stoppingor the use of the
ultra-high register.
