Very good indeed! Hmm dispute about whether it is Vivaldi... well personally I'm not sure it is. The fugue in the second movement sounds in places a bit like Buxtehude/Bach and a lot like Corelli, so I'm inclined to agree that it may have been a Correli-influenced German who wrote it. Something about the sequences doesn't really sound like Vivaldi, but I may be wrong.
Funny you should ask...I am on a mission to find the piece referenced on Wikipedia that "Ashokan Farewell" bears a similarity to, but without any luck so far. (I don't think this is the piece referenced, which supposedly is a solo violin sonata with continuo, and the particular movement titled "Preludio").
Hmm; well, I wasn't sure if perhaps this was an unusual arrangement, especially since there are a few parts of this that do evoke a similar mood. If you should happen to find the piece, please let me know; so far I haven't found it, but I have to admit, I haven't been digging incessantly.
Fantastic writing...but I highly doubt it's Vivaldi. It definitely has Venetian influence, but some of the counterpoint (particularly in the 2nd movement) straightway belies Vivaldi's authorship and leads me to believe this was possibly written at the hand of a Corellian-influenced German.
Hard issue....Vivaldi is in my blood as lived in my Venice. Surely his power of representation was the highest in the history of music. he was not so skilled as handel was in moving orchestral masses though...
i am trying to find six sonatas for flute and continuo' sonta in c second movement by vivaldi because i am playing it for a gcse piece and i need to listern to it so if any one has it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post it!!!
This song is a clasical Baroque piece and is typical of the age its from i love the last movment it is so dominating!! I respect vivaldi and the other clasical composers for bring such beautiful music into our lives not only then but today too!!
Every movement except the second one is "Vivaldian" in style. Obviously however, the relatively strict fugue of the second movement is what really casts doubt on whether this is a real Vivaldi or not. Also the third movement has a Vivaldian style melody, but is rather un-Vivaldian in that the two violins play in unison.
It's good you mentioned the L'estro Armonico. Being the most popular set of concertos ever published, these pieces were highly influential particularily in Germany (Recall Mr. Bach's transcriptions). so if this is not a Vivaldi, then it was probably written by a composer of German nationality.
Ciao, puoi dirmi autore e titolo del bellissimo dipinto che hai scelto come sfondo?

Is this the piece that is believed to have inspired the melody of Ashokan Farewell? I can sense the similarity here and there, but only very vaguely.

Parts of the first movement sound like the Concerto #1 in D Major from Estro Harmonico, but otherwise it doesn't have that same Vivaldi feel to me.
