Vivaldi's
only oboe sonata requires
an interpretation, since

rather neglected piece is
sure to find many new
friends.

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 Sachsische
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 the
manuscript so as to allow
the performer to find his
own solutions. Otherwise
the virtually error-free
manuscript was reproduced
without change. We wish
to thank the directors of
the Sachsische
Landesbibliothek Dresden
for their authorization
to publish the work.
