Concerto in G Major, RV 437

Vivaldi, A

International Music Company presents Antonio Vivaldi's 'Concerto in G Major, RV 437' for flute and piano edited by Jean-Pierre Rampal.

The flute concerto 'Il Cavallo', or 'the horse' was written in by Vivaldi in 1729. It must have been a very genteel, well-behaved horse that Vivaldi had in mind. The horse is most characterized by the up and down motion provided by the jumping octaves, sixths and fifths through out the first movement. The flute happily dances around this structure in the string instruments. The pastoral air of the middle movement brings to mind Vivaldi's writing in the slow movements of his concerto 'La Notte.' The third movement is unusual in that it entirely features the flute with accompanimental strings, with no orchestral ritornellos.'
