Sound icon Real Audio - Concerto for Oboe and Strings in C major (RV 477), Second Movement
Vivaldi's slow movements often contain some of his richest harmonies, as in this example from one of his oboe concertos. The melodic clashes between the violins as they begin their rise is reminiscent of an earlier master, Arcangelo Corelli (1653–1713).
