    Hmm, pretty clear for sixteenth notes. I like what he does with the octave 16ths top of page 2.

    Robin - I think this work hasn't been played for two hundred years (not sure). The College where I work has an excellent string program and, consequently a very fine string orchestra. I'm going to produce parts (Finale) for this and give it to the head of strings - I think it's good for a girls string orchestra to play music of Vivaldi as it was girls who predominantly performed his music (from memory).
    I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.

    Really? Who knew...

    Sounds like it's about time this piece was played again.
