Misc. Notes This autograph manuscript was used for academic study. Mr. Pisendel was a student of Vivaldi. Some of the notes are not on the right staff for the instruments, and Mr. Pisendel added ornamented versions in empty measures. As such, it is not suitable for practice or performance.

Misc. Notes This arrangement preserves the quirkiness of the combined efforts of Mr. Pisendel and Vivaldi. The full copy/transcription is already shared in the Scores tab, and includes the music XML from those copies of the entire manuscript. This submission is a piano reduction, which can work well for violin, flute, piccolo, oboe, etc. for this piece. The arrangement for the soloist is for a flute player, with, hopefully, acceptable modifications to allow the player a chance to breath.
