Vivaldi's RV 531 concerto for 2 cellos, also known as Vivaldi's Double Concerto has become very popular, in part because it is included in the Suzuki Method. The first movement is full of imitation and storm-like passages. The slow movement is solemn, written in the trio-sonata style. The finale is a lively courante.

Although both soloists have the opportunity to play melodic material, the cello I part is markedly more difficult in the first movement, going up to the sixth position once and often having the higher part than cello II. Otherwise, both solo parts stay within the first four positions. String crossings are the biggest challenge in the outer movements. There are some rhythmic challenges in the finale.

Our edition is based on the autograph score housed at Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, Turin (I-Tn): Giordano 35 (f.261r-268v). This set includes a piano reduction and 4 solo parts (2 Urtext and 2 with fingerings/bowings).
