Yes - it's Vivaldi's famous Concerto for Two Violins in A Minor, Op. 3 #8, RV522, with the duet parts scored into the string orchestra sections. Themes from all three movements are included, and while the first violin has the top line of the original duet, the second line is shared between the second violins and violas. Cellos and basses carry the crucial basso continuo part, which keeps them just as busy as the upper parts. An exquisite lesson in the Best of Baroque, it will make better musicians of all, but emphasizing the Baroque bowing style, playing octaves in tune and working in the keys of A minor and D minor.
