Indeed, he helped establish the fast-slow-fast plan of the concerto’s three movements. Vivaldi perfected the form of what would become the classical three-movement concerto. Vivaldi’s remaining concerti are either double concerti (including about 25 written for two violins), concerti grossi using three or more soloists, concerti ripieni (string concerti without a soloist), or chamber concerti for a group of instruments without orchestra. There are also concerti for viola d’amore, recorder, mandolin, and other instruments. Of these, approximately 230 are written for solo violin, 40 for bassoon, 25 for cello, 15 for oboe, and 10 for flute. More than 300 are concerti for a solo instrument with string orchestra and continuo.
