Vivaldi wrote numerous concerti for a diverse range of instruments.  This was originally written for mandolin and strings. Some of the very ornate figurations have been slightly adapted whilst the harmonic and formal structures have remained intact.  A sense of dialogue is created between the sections of the orchestra as the melodic line is shared. Players will just love the typically Baroque string crossings, familiar harmonic progressions and the sheer effervescence that this music imparts.
