A. Vivaldi: Concerto for Violin, Strings & Basso Continuo in D minor | RV 813 | circa 1702-04

Ryom-Verzeichnis catalog: RV 813
Formerly listed as: Anch. 10 (attributed to Torelli)
Transcription: BWV 979 (Johann Sebastian Bach)

One of the Vivaldi's earliest work, this concerto, among the ones transcribed for solo harpsichord by J.S. Bach, was until recently commonly believed to be by Torelli on accounts of its attribution to him in a manuscript in Vienna and its perceived variance with Vivaldi's normal practice (for instance, in having seven movements). However, its general conformity with Vivaldi's style of the early period and its thematic links to other works, revealed by the study of concordant passages pioneered by Federico Maria Sardelli confirm Vivaldi as the true composer.

I. Allegro, adagio 0:01
II. Allegro, adagio 02:00
III. Andante 4:48
IV. Largo 06:14
V. Allegro 07:10

Research shows that RV 813, is one of the earliest concerto that Vivaldi wrote. It is written in multi-movement Corelli style concertos, many years before the 3 movement become standard. Vivaldi was influenced by Corelli and RV 813 was written around or before Vivaldi's first set of trio sonatas Op.1 (1705).

Bah's BWV 979:
The model for BWV 979 has been attributed to Vivaldi and to Giuseppe Torelli. Listed as No. 10 in the Anhang (Appendix) of the Ryom-Verzeichnis (RV), it was generally attributed to Torelli. Federico Maria Sardelli argued against the attribution to Torelli, and in favour of an attribution to Vivaldi, in an article published in 2005. Consequently, the concerto was relisted as RV 813. The composition originated before 1711: for instance its seven movements and its second viola part are not compatible with Vivaldi's later style.[36][37][38]

Vivaldi's first identified work:
It is worth to mention that in December 2014 Federico Maria Sardelli and Francisco Javier Lupiáñez Ruiz independently identified the earliest known work of Vivaldi, cataloged as RV 820.

The original medieval building was built along the canals of San Severo in Venice. It was acquired as a family residence by Antonio Grimani, who became a doge in 1521.Later, he donated it to his grandsons Vettore Grimani, Procurator de Supra for the Republic of Venice, and Giovanni Grimani, Patriarch of Aquileia. In 1558, when Vettorie died, Giovanni became the sole owner. The Palazzo Grimani remained in the hands of the Santa Maria Formosa branch of the Grimani family until 1865. The deteriorated building became a state property in 1981. After a thorough restoration, it opened as a museum in 2008.
