product description

for cello solo, 2 violins, viola, & b. c., edited by Markus Möllenbeck, piano reduction by Ulrich Lüdering. 

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.

The present concerto is characterized by the theme of repetition throughout all three movements. In the first movement, the main motif encircles a third interval with continuously repeated sixteenth-note figures, almost resembling an insistence.

In the second movement, rhythmically very similar motifs are combined both in the upper voice and in the accompanying basso continuo. Despite the static quality of these two voices, they create a peculiar and captivating charm.

In the third movement, Vivaldi revisits a topos that was still relevant at the beginning of the 18th century but was rather rare within his own three-movement model of the solo concerto: this movement is a passacaglia, over whose eight-bar bass line rapid figurations are to be performed, sometimes at a dizzying pace.
