Product Description

This is an adaptation of Concerto in A Minor for Piccolo, RV 445 by Antonio Vivaldi, rearranged for a chamber ensemble titled Quintet for Piccolo, featuring a soloist accompanied by a flute quartet. The work preserves the original Baroque concerto structure while redistributing the orchestral lines to the quintet, making it more accessible for smaller ensembles. Vivaldi composed this concerto as part of his series of concertos for wind instruments in Venice, highlighting the piccolo's characteristic technical agility and lyricism. The adaptation follows historical Baroque rearrangement practices, maintaining the original solo part with period-typical cadenzas, while the flute quartet recreates the orchestral counterpoint. The first movement (Allegro) explores virtuosic passages, the second (Larghetto) emphasizes the instrument's singing qualities, and the finale (Allegro) recaptures Vivaldi's rhythmic energy. Designed for advanced piccolo players and chamber ensembles, it offers a practical alternative to the traditional orchestral concerto.
