Quite unknown today, this concerto was widely circulated in manuscript form before being published by the Roger firm in Amsterdam in 1717. No less than four manuscript copies have survived (Vienna, Zürich, Darmstadt, Lund), not counting an organ transcription by a relative of J.S. Bach’s, composer Johann Gottfried Walther. Another German composer is responsible for the manuscript in Darmstadt: the harpsichordist Christoph Graupner. In his version, the work is said to be ‘for Violino principale or Traversa’, and a different middle movement composed by Graupner is supplied for performance on the flute. Federico Maria Sardelli (in his seminal study ‘Le opere giovanili di Antonio Vivaldi’, Studi vivaldiani 2006) gave two different estimates of the composition date, but his definitive assessment seems to be 1711-1712, ‘during the gestation period of “La stravaganza”’. Still according to Sardelli, Walther made his organ transcription around 1713-1714. I. Allegro (0:00) II. Adagio (2:23) III. Allegro (5:43) Composed: 1711-1712 (Sardelli) Source: A-Wn, E.M. 148.e Harmonie Universelle, ‘Concerti per violino’ Florian Deuter, violino solo e direzione Mónica Waisman, direzione Eloquentia EL 0815
When you see the choice of e minor, the "shape" of the music, which is very similar to the ten years later bellinzani's follia for recorder, and the range which rarely pass the G3 the reaction Is "oh my god: this concert was written for the italian G recorder 😮!". I Hope that in the future Someone Will play this concert with the G recorder...
I always find your comments interesting and your uploads are amzaing. I love the slow movement of this one. Could you explain the "traversa" reference. I assume a traverse flute would be "traverso" so not clear what a "traversa" would be.
Actually, the I.Allegro part is well known and there're a few great perfomances of it, one of which is played on "LIVE 24/7 Rolling Cam Venice" every couple of hours since 2019 // anyway, it's always interesting to read about manusripts 'adventures':)
Thank you for uploading this. A week ago I found a midi file on my computer which I downloaded in 2006. All it said was concerto 12. I listened to every number 12 I could find, it was fun and frustrating.

Always have loved this concerto, such an interesting catchy melody. Nobody else found those melodies back then, only him. Lucio....
I miss Lucio too, with you.
