Vivaldi's RV 398 cello concerto is perfect for a student who is finishing up Suzuki Book 2. The concerto uses the first through third positions. The first movement is based on an interesting rhythm, which is introduced by the imitation between the violins in the ritornello. The second movement is accompanied only by the basso continuo, making it sound like a sonata. The finale is a graceful minuet.

Our edition is based on the autograph score held at Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, Turin (I-Tn): Foà 29, f.112-117. This set includes an orchestra score and separate parts. For a cello part with fingerings and bowings see the piano reduction.
