per flauto archi e cembalo RV 441 (F.VI. No. 11 P.V. 440)-The source of the present edition of the Recorder Concerto in C minor by Antonio Vivaldi is the Collected Works of Vivaldi edited by Malipiero published by Ricordi 1953. The title of the original score is 'Concerto in Do minore per flauto archi e cembalo'; the original setting: Flauto Violini I-II Viole Violoncelli Contrabassi and Cembalo. The arrangement for recorder and piano is kept in accurate conformity with the musical text of the score; the continuo part however has been more freely adapted (of course within the possibilities of baroque style). In contrast to previous arrangements the piano part contains the entire orchestral material in the Tuttis thus the soloist is not obliged to play all the Tutti parts. However in Movement I and III the first and last Tutti may never be omitted by the performer.

Klavierauszug-Dans le manuscrit autographe Vivaldi a choisi le terme de «Flautino» comme indication d?instrumentation. Cependant rien ne permet de préciser si le concerto doit être joué à la flûte à bec soprano en fa dite sopranino ou à la flûte traversière piccolo. Comme cette dernière est obligatoire lors des auditions d?entrée dans les orchestres on rencontre souvent ce concerto animé et entraînant dans la version pour piccolo.

piano reduction with solo part-Suitable for flute or Descant recorder. With solo part and piano score.

a cura di Federico Maria Sardelli. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Among Vivaldi’s many flute and recorder concertos, two, both for transverse flute, were known until a few years ago only in incomplete form: RV 431 and 432. Both are written in the comfortable and expressive key of E minor, are transmitted inautograph manuscripts and lack their second movement (RV 432 also lacks its third movement). The seemingly enigmatic instruction “Grave sopra il libro” replacing the second movement has given rise to the most fanciful hypotheses. The discovery in Edinburgh, in 2010, of a concerto for transverse flute in D minor entitled “Il gran Mogol” suddenly shed light on the situation: this was an earlier version of RV 431, now complete with its middle movement, a “Larghetto” that is verypossibly identical with the one missing in RV 431. This “Gran Mogol”, which belonged to Robert Kerr, a Scottish nobleman and amateur flautist, was already known by name to scholars on account of its listing in an eighteenth-century catalogue as partof a set of Vivaldi concertos bearing geographical titles: more recently, there has come to light a letter written by Vivaldi three months before his death in which the composer describes this set in detail. It is very likely that RV 431 and RV 432belonged to this group of works, the last known collection of its kind in Vivaldi’s oeuvre. This critical edition places these closely related works side by side for the first time, placing them in their historical context and making them performable through its reconstruction of some lost parts. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Date parution : 1905-07-09/ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière Cordes et Basse Continue
