I played this piece with a professional modern orchestra a couple of
years ago. I don't remember anything about the presence or absence of
figures. Most Italians from Vivaldi's period didn't notate many figures
since it was expected that performers were so familiar with
stereotypical progressions from partimenti that figures were redundant.
I think I still have a PDF of the music. I'll be happy to send you a
copy when I get home. (I'll write in figures if you'd like).
Hi Chris,
I tried sending privately this to your return address, but it bounced.
I'd like to thank you for your extremely useful article in the latest
LSA Newsletter. I quite often need to play continuo from this period,
and it's extremely helpful to learn that I should be playing full chords
without worrying much about voice leading.
Cheers!
Geoff
