I used to see Paul Goodwin many times during the 1980's at the Wigmore hall in London, such a fine oboe player, I wonder what he does now, not heard of him in years.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Ch%C3%A9deville Impersonation of VivaldiIn 1737 he made a secret agreement with Jean-Noël Marchand to publish a collection of his own compositions as Antonio Vivaldi's op. 13, entitled Il pastor fido. Chédeville supplied the money and received the profits, all of which was attested to in a notarial act by Marchand in 1749.[1] This may have been an attempt to give his instrument, the musette, the endorsement of a great composer which it lacked. His interest in Italian music led to his receiving, in August 1739, a privilege to publish arrangements for the musette, hurdy-gurdy or flute of concertos and sonatas by ten specific Italian composers, in addition to Johann Joachim Quantz and Antoine Mahaut. Le printems, ou Les saisons amusantes (1739) is a particularly amusing result of this privilege; it is an arrangement of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons for hurdy-gurdy or musette, violin, and flute (though the French flute could also mean the recorder). He replaced Vivaldi's original Summer with his op. 8 no. 9 concerto, transferred the middle movement of Winter to Autumn, and replaced Winter op. 8 no. 12. All this was quite freely arranged and combined with some added Vivaldian material by Chédeville.

Did Vivaldi and Chedeville write the piece together or did one use part of the others music in their work?
From what I know, Chedeville used Vivaldi's name to sell his work. In other words, this IS a forgery.
