Work introduction
Antonio Vivaldi wrote a set of twelve sonatas for violin and basso continuo, Op. 2, in 1709. First published by Antonio Bortoli in Venice in 1709 (in movable type), the collection was later reprinted by Estienne Roger (who became Vivaldi's main publisher) in Amsterdam around 1712/13.
The arrangement is written in the original Key and considering the fast and lively tempo, a lot of chords can be strummed on the guitar; similar to a lute or theorbo playing in a baroque ensemble.
