Sources:
This concerto survives as a work by Vivaldi in Mus.5567 and is recorded as number RV 206. The manuscript
dating back to 1720-1730, which arrived in Dresden from court copyists, was erroneously attributed to
Alberto Gallo, in fact the manuscript copied by Johann Georg Pisendel bears the words "Concerto del Signor
Alberto Gallo". But this was not the case, because Vivaldi's authorship was later proven by documenting
copying errors in the harpsichord part, in the frontispiece, in bars that were upside down and subsequently
corrected, etc., the last bars of the third movement were accidentally written upside down by a copyist ,
before he rewrote them in the correct place. Pisendel had to annotate all the parts in his own hand. The
manuscript belongs to the collection of instrumental works of the Hofkapelle in Dresden, called "Schrank II"
from the name of the ancient storage place. Manuscript copy: 1720-1730; Watermarks: W-Dl-086 Crowned
Coat of Arms of Amsterdam. Copyist of the Dresden court (Heller).
It is assumed that Vivaldi composed this concerto between 1716 and 1718 in Venice.
The reconstruction of this concert was made in Rome in 2019 by Santino Cara on commission from the
Roman Baroque Academy. The reconstruction was based on the manuscript described above. We included the dynamics, some parts of the continuo missing in the manuscript and the realization of the harpsichord. The first printed edition of this concert dates back to 2019, the same year of the reconstruction.
Finally, I would like to remind you that the concert, in addition to the complete score, also includes all the separate parts, all in a single pdf file.
