Vivaldi, Antonio - Four Sonatas, Op. 5 for Violin and Piano

The Opus 5 Sonatas were first published in Amsterdam in 1716. The first four are for solo violin and continuo and appear in this volume. Numbers 5 and 6 are ‘Trio Sonatas’ for two violins and continuo. The order we have adopted pays tribute to Professor Michael Talbot’s legendary edition, first published by European Music Archive (EMA101),
now sadly unavailable. Editorial suggestions are shown in square brackets.

The Optional Basso Continuo part is available to download free of charge, from: www.CliftonEdition.com/C506
