Perhaps a timed release?
Something's going on. It's as if Vivaldi deliberately left some of his original manuscripts around locations in Britain as part of a deliberate attempt to keep posterity interested in his music, creating a posthumous treasure hunt that would take more than two and a half centuries to solve. There must be more out there. The Gran Mogol concerto was one of a set of four, all previously thought lost, so the other three must be lurking in libraries and private collections somewhere. And given the Vivaldi hit rate over the last few weeks, I reckon it's worth us all checking our lofts. Who knows what Antonio and his successors might have left in attics from Stoke to Southwold, from Bo'ness to Bournemouth? Even if you haven't got a couple of Scottish marquesses in your family, you too could be sitting on some Vivaldian treasure.
