Vivaldi : Concerto per mandolini RV558 (allegro molto)

Delightful!!

:))))))))))) bellooooooooooooo

Les mots sont trop faibles pour décrire cet enchantement . Ce tempo est ce qu'il y a de plus juste pour ce concerto. Chapeaux bas pour les interprètes. Sublime !!!

I don't know the original written tempo, but I've always heard this piece at a slower, more deliberate pace than what we hear in this video. Can anyone comment on what the original written tempo was?

The "tempo strictness" was introduces in XIX sec., where the timing became more important. Allegro Molto can be executed in a 70-120 range without problems. At the time this wasn't a concern for players, just remember that these concertos were made to entertain and not to bore people. Just check some J.S.Bach concertos (expecially the 1st brandeburg) which start with the "Ohne Satzbezeichnung" note, which means "without time indication"

Thank you, that was very informative.

Well the ''tromba marina'' (see trumpet)was used since the late middle ages on Venetian ships to signalate the approaching to an harbour...try to play the natural A on a Bass and you will obtain the tipical sound oh a ship's horne :)

@callimacos I assumed that "Tromba Marina" in the 18th Century only referred to the bowed string instrument with that name...

jajaja

Haaaa incredible.
