(
From the middle of the 16th century, visitors to Venice were particularly captivated by the splendid sound of multi-choral music-making. Antonio Vivaldi had certainly also become acquainted with this musical practice and used it as an inspiration for his own work. In the Concerto in A major the solo violin is accompanied by a complete string orchestra, with a second violin "per eco in lontano" as an echoing voice positioned in the distance. The composition reflects the transformation from the powerful baroque to the sensitive musical language.
