Arrangement: Suzanne Richter, Basso Continuo: Marcus Stein. The sonorous work with its playful outer movements and expressive largo is published in this critical new edition on the basis of the sources. The teacher/student relationship is obscured by its near equality of solo parts, and leads us to imagine a possible. This concerto, one of those copied by Pisendel and taken to Dresden, is a unique take on the concept of Vivaldi as teacher, as it is clearly a contest between equals. More than two dozen of his concertos are dedicated to the violoncello, including probably the most famous double concerto: the Concerto for two violoncellos, string orchestra and basso continuo in G minor (RV 531) written after 1770. Vivaldi, Concerto for Two Violins in C major, RV 507.
These works span from the simple, first-position concerto to the complex, advanced-level concertos in the vein of Haydn, Boccherini, and C.P.E.
Thanks to the Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), there exists today not only a wealth of magnificent violin concertos but also quite a number of cello concertos to whose development he contributed considerably. Vivaldi composed at least 25 solo concertos, a double cello concerto, and several other concerto-grosso-style concertos that involve the cello as a soloist.
The genre of the violoncello concerto was born in 17th-century Italy. Vivaldi Concerto in G minor for Two Cellos and Piano, RV 531 – Schott Ed.
