Arrangement by: MAGGIO Guy-Jean
Instrumentation: 3 guitars
Composer: VIVALDI, A.
In this arrangement for three guitars, Antonio Vivaldi’s Trio in G minor, RV 85, originally written for violin, lute, and continuo, gains a new tonal color thanks to the richness and clarity of three classical guitars. Faithful to the composer’s spirit, the transcription preserves the Baroque elegance of the original while making full use of the harmonic and expressive possibilities of the instrument.
Each part is crafted to highlight the interplay between the voices, offering a subtle balance between virtuosity and lyricism. Accessible to intermediate to advanced guitarists, this arrangement is equally suited to concert performance and pedagogical contexts, allowing one to discover—or rediscover—Vivaldi through a warm and intimate lens.
