A volume containing directions for the Viola d'Amore, as well as a concerto and sinfonia by Antonio Vivaldi
- Scope & Content:
-
1. "ANWEISUNG zum Spiel der Viola d'Amore ": an anonymous book of directions, composed in 1795. f. 1.
2. Concerto in D minor for viola d'amore and lute, with violins and basses ('sordini'), the bass being also figured for harpsichord, in score, by Antonio Vivaldi. Apparently copied (in 1880) from the original MS. at Dresden, where it formed the third of a set of concertos played by the girls of the 'Ospitale della Pieta' before the Crown Prince of Poland at Venice in 1740. ff. 10-23b.
3. 'Sinfonia' in G (Allegro molto, Andante, and Allegro), for strings, etc., in score, apparently by Antonio Vivaldi. From a comparison with the composition which precedes it, and from the direction 'lauto [? = leuto] solo' in the first movement, the piece was probably written for those instruments as well as for the violins, violette (sc. violas), and violoncello named in the second movement. The bass in the first and last movements is occasionally figured for harpsichord. ff. 24-31b.
