Vivaldi's RV 417 is among the more frequently played of the composer's cello concertos. The first movement solo sections are on the shorter side. The slow movement only has the basso continuo for the accompaniment, resembling Vivaldi's sonatas, even sharing the key of B-flat major with three of the sonatas. The finale is a fiery Courante, with almost a Spanish flair. The soloist uses primarily the first four positions and the A harmonic a few times.

Our edition is based on the autograph score housed at Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, Turin (I-Tn): Foà 29, f.211-218. Our set includes a piano reduction and 2 solo parts (Urtext and with fingerings/bowings).
