Antonio Vivaldi wrote a set of concertos, op. 4, entitled "La stravanganza" (The Extraordinary) in 1712-1713. The set was first published in 1714 and was dedicated to Vettor Delfino. All of the concertos were scored for solo violin, strings, and basso continuo; however, some of the movements in the concertos require extra soloists (like a second violin solo and/or a cello solo).
