Vivaldi - Cello Concerto in D minor, RV 405 (Urtext Edition)

Vivaldi's RV 405 concerto has two fast movements in triple time. The soloist foreshadows the tutti of the finale in mm. 26-31 of the first movement. The tuttis have exciting rhythms. The solo part requires the knowledge of the first 5 positions and can be a good piece to introduce the student to the 6th and 7th positions, which are used sparingly

Our edition is based on the manuscript copy of the parts held at Schönborn-Wiesentheid Musiksammlung. Thank you to the University of North Carolina Cello Collection for helping us obtain a copy of the manuscript. This set includes an orchestra score and separate parts. For a cello part with fingerings and bowings see the piano reduction.
