Urtext edition, Series Il Violoncello concertato
The editor has so far published 12 of Vivaldi's cello concertos in critical editions: RV 398 (in C), 401 (in c), 405 (in d), 409 (in e), 410 (in F), 413 (in G), 414 (in G), 417 (in g), 418 (in a), 419 (in a), 424 (in b), 531 (in g for 2 Vc).
For a long time, no performance material was available that met source-critical standards.
This is arguably one of Vivaldi's most progressive cello concertos. For example, in the structure of the first movement, he takes a different formal approach by lengthening the solo episodes rather than shortening them. In the first, the cello immediately reaches D2.
In the slow movement, the two violins feel their way into the movement in a recitative-like manner with suspensions and later, with the other parts, form a wonderful carpet of sound upon which the solo cello can unfold its song.
In the third movement, the highest note of the concerto, F2, is reached. Bettina Hofmann, incidentally, dates the composition of this concerto to the early 1730s, close in time to the opera La Fida Ninfa RV 714 of 1732.
Range of the solo part: C - f2, intermediate level of difficulty, the strings in the set of parts: Solo-2-2-1-2 Bassi
CD recordings by soloists as Sol Gabetta, Christophe Coin, Heinrich Schiff, Raphael Wallfisch, Mischa Maisky and others
