The Lute Concerto in D major, RV 93, is one of four works featuring the solo lute 2 Violins and Basso continuo written by Antonio Vivaldi.
The second movement also consists of several sections. According to AllMusic critic Brian Robins describes this movement as a “reflective meditation by the soloist” against accompaniment by the violins and pizzicato bass. The 2nd movement, Largo, was incorporated into Georges Delerue’s Oscar-winning score for the 1979 film A Little Romance and played (on guitar) in the 1972 Western The Cowboys.
