The third movement of Autumn seems at first glance to begin a simple, rustic dance, but Vivaldi adds more than a few compositional flourishes by varying the length of the ritornellos as well as using contrapuntal transformations of the opening themes for the solo episodes.
For this video, a new edition was prepared from the original sources, prints and manuscripts for Vivaldi's music. In Vivaldi's original engraved score, the title is given as Autumno, not Autunno. However, in the Manchester partbooks the title is given as Autunno, so we have opted for the more common spelling. You can see the original engraving on IMSLP: [ Ссылка ]

Carla Moore plays an 18th century violin by Johann Georg Thir, Vienna, Austria, 1754, one of only a few violins in the world to have remained completely in its original, unaltered form. In the 19th and 20th centuries, almost all baroque violins were modernized which dramatically changed the sound: this is the original sound.
