I love it, wish there was more such! <br /><br />eg the slow movement from Autumn in Vivaldi's Four Seasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwvF_-sj428 . Or the First movement of his concerto for Four Violins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY3Kxf7ZTeI . <br /><br />Indeed most of Vivaldi's (best IMO) stuff is pretty solidly arpeggios and sequences (no melody): the A minor concerto for two violins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTuTmSJN_lo . <br /><br />More recently there is the proto-minimalist Mike Oldfield - here playing with Vivaldi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBm6TKBVYcw .
