Zeno, but, Yes! I was correct. Read this: The Quartet Sonata in C major (RV 779) was written during the first decade of Vivaldi’s activity as a composer, when he was serving as a violin teacher at the Ospedale della Piet in Venice. Selected girls were admitted - after audition - to the musical establishment. Vivaldi made a note in this manuscript of the names of the four female musicians who were chosen to perform the sonata. They are Pellegrina (oboe), Prudenza (violin), Lucietta (organ) and Candida (chalumeau). :-)

I read something similar but didn't pay too much attention. Del Vivaldi has a video of the M.S with the names for viewing, which is interesting

@@TheOneAndOnlyZeno I'll take a look at that, thanks. And because RV779 and RV585 were composed as lessons so to speak, they're written with purposeful simplicity (and as V penned quite a few such lessons, some have taken a view of Vivaldi as "lightweight") However, just listen. They're full of crazy inventiveness.

Shades of his "a due cori" RV 585. One wonders if he wrote this for his girls.

Very Beautiful!, Also what is a Salmoé?

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

I couldn't even guess to be honest.. never heard the term before.

It’s a chalumeau, this instrument has different names
