However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died, in poverty, less than a year later. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for royal support. Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. Vivaldi had worked there as a Catholic priest for 1 1/2 years and was employed there from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Many of his compositions were written for the all-female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children. His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as the Four Seasons. He composed many instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than fortyoperas. Born in Venice, the capital of the Venetian Republic, he is regarded as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his influence during his lifetime was widespread across Europe.

Tension develops in the middle section, the music darkening and seeming to struggle along, but the beguiling main theme returns to close the movement. The second movement features a lovely if forlorn main theme that seems so well suited for the violin that one wonders how the resourceful Bach was able to make it work on the keyboard. The middle part of this panel contains some challenging, cadenza-like passages for the violinists, who must maintain the breathless pacing while negotiating thorny, typically brilliantly imagined writing. The first movement brims with joy in its busy contrapuntal interplay and colorful solo music. In any event, the Concerto for three violins is cast in three movements, with two lively Allegros framing a lovely Adagio. Arguably then, this string rendition is the more authentic version of the music, though Bach purists might object, citing the piece is tainted by the work of another hand who has in effect fashioned a transcription from a transcription. The manuscript of the harpsichord version survives and the music is thus better known in that instrumental dressing. Indeed, the works might be described as identical twins, for this so-called "reconstruction" is an arrangement of the original version of the piece, scored for three violins, strings, and continuo, which was lost. Bach mavens hearing this work for the first time will recognize its relationship to the Concerto for three harpsichords in C major (BWV 1064).
