Giuseppe Tartini who is known for his violin sonata titled "Devil's Trill" is one of the outstanding composers of the Italian baroque music of the 18th century. He was also active as a performer, music theorist and educator.
As a typical example of a baroque-style concerto, the piece consists of three movements in quick-slow-quick tempo.
1st movement : Leggielo, moderato; with the introduction of the orchestra, then the brilliant theme for trumpet.
2nd movement : Andante; begins abruptly with the trumpet playing the theme, following by the orchestra.
3rd movement : Leggielo; gracefully, short improvisation is inserted by a solo trumpet.
