The Lute Concerto in D major, RV 93, is one of four works featuring the solo lute written by Antonio Vivaldi. Vivaldi wrote the piece in the 1730s, a period in which he wrote two of his other works featuring the lute: the trios for violin and lute in G minor and C major.[1]

Xoxb slack token. The concerto is in three movements:[1]
- Allegro
The first movement is in a fast tempo and begins with a ritornello played by the violins and then repeated by the solo lute.[1][2] According to AllMusic critic Brian Robins, the ritornello 'contrasts a tuneful opening theme with a more lyrical motif in the minor mode.'[1] During the movement, the solo lute plays melodies in contrast to the ritornello.[2] The movement consists of several sections, almost all of which incorporate a portion of the ritornello melody.[2]
The second movement also consists of several sections.[2] Robins describes this movement as a 'reflective meditation by the soloist' against accompaniment by the violins and pizzicato bass.[1] Robins praises the movement's 'exquisitely simple shift from triple to duple meter.'[1] The third and final movement is another fast movement in a 6/8 time signature which Robins describes as having 'a bit of tarantella-like feel.'[1] The soloist also has the option of playing the half notes in the movement using a more vigorous 12/8 time signature.[3]
Performance[edit]
The concerto uses the lute primarily in a high register.[4] The lute parts are written primarily as chords, and the lute player is intended to play arpeggios based on these chords.[4] The piece also includes important parts for the violins.[4]
Today, Ben Salfield is one of the few lutenists to perform the concerto regularly in European concerts.[citation needed]
The concerto is usually played on guitar.[3][4]Yes guitarist Steve Howe performed the second movement on guitar on the band's 2002 live album Symphonic Live, into which he incorporated a number of improvisations.[5]
It has also been performed on guitar by more classical soloists, such as John Williams.[1] The piece is also sometimes played on mandolin.[3] The concerto is played on the Ontario Parliament Network and is performed by Canadian guitarists Liona Boyd and Norbert Kraft. It has become the channel's classical staple.
Legacy[edit]
In 2014, Vivaldi's lute concerto ranked #78 on the ABC Classic FMClassic 100 Baroque and Before countdown.[6] In 2007 it had ranked #75 on the station's Classic 100 concerto countdown.
