Vivaldi La Stravaganza Op.4 No.1 in B-flat major (Full Score)

Antonio Vivaldi’s twelve concertos Op.4 known by the name of “La Stravaganza” were first mentioned as a collection of "Concerti a 4” in the 1711 foreword of “L’Estro Armonico” Op.3.  Their publication had to wait until 1716, when Estienne Roger issued them in two volumes of six concertos each.

The many reprints of “La Stravaganza” bear witness to its popularity and widespread dissemination well into the 1730s.
