Work(s) & Performance
Antonio Vivaldi

T

he first works of the "concerto" genre were actually intended to be performed by a large instrumental ensemble (string orchestra and basso continuo) and not by groups of soloists. It is not surprising, however, that the principal violin in such a large grouping soon demanded special tasks. From this, the dialogue between tutti and solo that dominates today finally developed. An early master of this type of composition and the driving force behind its development was the Italian Antonio Vivaldi. The Concerto in G minor RV 157 is still owed to the form without a real solo voice. It begins with a powerful movement in which the two violin parts are in dialogue. A strict largo with dotted rhythm is followed by the sweeping finale, which is somewhat reminiscent of the "summer" of the "Four Seasons".
