Description:
These 9 concerts are some of the many instrumental works by Antonio Vivaldi.
We decided to transcribe these piano concertos for the form only, the melodic intensity, the harmonic behavior and style which in our opinion we felt it was important as a reference to describe the Vivaldi's works.
Are concertos extracted from very important works such as: "The estro armonico Op.3 of 12 concertos" published in Amsterdam between 1717 and 1722, dedicated to Ferdinando de 'Medici.
"Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'invenzione Op.8 of 12 concerts, opera of the four seasons" composed around 1723 and published in Amsterdam in 1725 and that some of the concerts Vivaldi wrote for Johann Pisendel of Dresden. Later the same Pisendel It made some elaborations on these concerts.
Other concerts we transcribed were extracted from works for flute, string orchestra and continuo.
In this small collection are inserted concerts that the author has transcribed taking as a basis the manuscripts,
some kept at the National Library of Turin and others kept at the Saxon State Library in Dresden. Therefore all the transcripts are original and unique of its kind.
