Hello Howard,
I was relying on Robbin Landon, as quoted in the entry for RV 558 (G
major), cited here at the red band:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Concerto_for_2_Mandolins_in_G_major,_RV_532_(Vivaldi,_Antonio)
But I checked the cited page 72 in Robbins Landon, and he does not give
the key, just the instrumentation in modern Italian. He was probably
referring to the C major concerto (con molto strumenti) and the ISMLP
editor cited the wrong concerto. I never heard it called the Noah
Concerto, but that's a good name for it. All of the instrument are solo.
In any event, Malipiero cannot be trusted. And I suspected some editorial
mischief as in the lute concertos. Malipiero had a private library in
northern Italy.

Hi Arthur:
Might you you be confusing the concerto in G, RV 532 with the "Noah's
Ark" (for lots of pairs of instruments) concerto in C, R 558?

2 theorbos and the violins are designated "violini in tromba marina."
(See
the red stripe.) The comment that the Malipiero score is "urtext" is
misuse
of the term!
I have never discovered convincing explanation about what "violini in
tromba marina" are. I know what a
tromba marina is, but violini? The best explanation is that one plays
the
notes in harmonics. In the solo sections??? Any other explanation? I
don't
buy the explanation by <????> that they are to be played on board a
ship.<g>
