Hi. The only reason why I thought you didn't know it's because... I guess you didn't know that Vivaldi's concertos for strings without a solo instrument are sometimes called "concerti di ripieno", sometimes "sinfonie" (these are usually the more straight forward ones, with a sonorous - unisons, double/triple stops - beginning, an aria-like slow movement and a short-dash last movement - usually an AABB dance. In the sinfonias, vl.1 & 2 are often written on one staff. But there are many other examples of concertos (for solo instrument or just strings) where Vivaldi basically writes for a 3-part ensemble, and only here or there he divides the violins parts. Just look on line or go to a music store and leaf through some of his scores...
I guess Magna Carta should have called it "concerto OR sinfonia". Well...
