La stravaganza

La stravaganza (The Extravagance), op. 4, is a set of concertos written by Antonio Vivaldi in 1712–1713. The set was first published in 1716 and was dedicated to Venetian nobleman Victor Delfin.[1] All of the concertos are scored for solo violin, strings, and basso continuo; however, some movements require extra soloists (such as a second violin and/or cello solo). What is perhaps most extraordinary about La stravaganza is Vivaldi's remarkable inventiveness within a defined framework of instrumental and harmonic forces.
