for Two Trumpets and String Orchestra
Art.Nr.: 021.STR1230
Antonio Vivaldi wrote this work for two natural trumpets and strings and it has become the most popular double concerto for trumpets. The music is simple and elegant, utilizing the non-chromatic capabilities of the natural trumpet. Falling arpeggios, half a scale and fanfare figures throughout the work show Vivaldis skill at taking short simple melodic material and using it throughout a three-movement concerto.
