The concluding Allegro of Autumn from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, performed on original instruments by the award winning Early Music ensemble Voices of Music. Carla Moore, solo baroque violin. Please subscribe to our channel The third movement of Autumn seems at first glance to begin a simple, rustic dance, but Vivaldi adds more than a few compositional flourishes by varying the length of the ritornellos as well as using contrapuntal transformations of the opening themes for the solo episodes. For this video, a new edition was prepared from the original sources, prints and manuscripts for Vivaldi's music. In Vivaldi's original engraved score, the title is given as Autumno, not Autunno. However, in the Manchester partbooks the title is given as Autunno, so we have opted for the more common spelling. You can see the original engraving on IMSLP: : Visit us on the web at Carla
