The Guitar Concerto in A major (after Vivaldi's Trio Sonata, RV 82) was composed by Alexandre Lagoya, a French classical guitarist and composer, in the 20th century. The concerto is based on Antonio Vivaldi's Trio Sonata, RV 82, which was originally composed for two violins and continuo. Lagoya's adaptation for guitar and orchestra was premiered in 1967. The concerto consists of three movements: Allegro, Larghetto, and Allegro. The first movement, Allegro, is characterized by its lively and energetic tempo, with the guitar taking center stage in the solo passages. The orchestra provides a supportive accompaniment, with the strings and woodwinds adding depth and texture to the overall sound. The second movement, Larghetto, is a slower and more contemplative piece, with the guitar playing a lyrical melody that is both expressive and emotive. The orchestra provides a gentle and understated accompaniment, with the strings and woodwinds adding a sense of warmth and intimacy to the overall sound. The final movement, Allegro, returns to the lively and energetic tempo of the first movement, with the guitar once again taking center stage in the solo passages. The orchestra provides a dynamic and exciting accompaniment, with the strings and woodwinds adding a sense of urgency and excitement to the overall sound. Overall, the Guitar Concerto in A major (after Vivaldi's Trio Sonata, RV 82) is a masterful adaptation of Vivaldi's original work, showcasing Lagoya's skill as both a composer and a guitarist. The concerto is characterized by its lively and energetic tempo, expressive and emotive melodies, and dynamic and exciting orchestration. It remains a popular and beloved piece in the classical guitar repertoire.
