Malipiero edition vs. others (old comments) ⟨Concerto for Strings in G major, RV 151 (Vivaldi, Antonio) [#7839]

According to Gian Francesco Malipiero, the indication "Soli" in the last movement's second repeated section, is a guess, confirmed only by the "Tutti" indication eleven bars later.

Malipiero's edition includes a figured bass realization he did and somewhat sparse figures. Sandra Dackow's edition, being intended for Grade 3 players, simplifies a few passages but is, aside from those, remarkably similar to the original; she also provides Violin 3 parts to compensate for a deficit of violas as well as English directives in addition to some of the standard musical symbols. Dackow also provides a figured bass realization but intends hers to be played on piano; no figures are provided. Malipiero does not give rehearsal letters, but Dackow does; later editors are encouraged not to invent new rehearsal letters for this piece. --- Alonso del Arte (2010)
