Vivaldi - Cello Concerto in C minor, RV 402 (Urtext Edition, Piano)

Vivaldi's RV 402 shares much of the pathos of its C-minor sibling, RV 401. The first movement ritornellos rely on imitation at the unison between the violins for its energy. The slow movement is a tranquil sarabande and the finale a sturdy minuet. Both the slow movement and finale are in binary form with repeats. The ritornellos in the finale

Vivaldi's RV 402 shares much of the pathos of its C-minor sibling, RV 401. The first movement ritornellos rely on imitation at the unison between the violins for its energy. The slow movement is a tranquil sarabande and the finale a sturdy minuet. Both the slow movement and finale are in binary form with repeats. The ritornellos in the finale feature the soloist, so we printed the solo part in the standard size, so as not to be left out in performances. The solo part mainly uses the first four positions but goes up, stepwise, to the fifth position in mm. 77-78 of the first movement. Our set includes a piano reduction and 2 solo parts (Urtext and with fingerings/bowings)
