For this concerto as well, please be sure to listen to Vivaldi's original. It offers significantly more ideas compared to a performance solely on harpsichord.

In Bach's case, the key of F major possesses a rather strong character; however, as this is Vivaldi, it differs from Bach's F major. Vivaldi's characteristic long sequences also appear here. For instance, the ascending sequence from measures 7 to 11 is by no means intended to create pressure. While the dynamics must be varied due to its ascending nature, it is not meant to oppress the listener but rather to gradually heighten a sense of joy.

From measure 45, the key changes rapidly, and the tutti theme is performed: A minor → C major → F major. Please try to gradually vary the volume and timbre according to the key.

Fundamentally, please consider the first movement to be bright, joyful, smooth, and optimistic.
