according to federico maria sardelli the chamber concerto version of "la tempesta di mare", rv 98, was possibly written for ignazio sieber, during the time in which he worked with the composer at the ospedale della pietà from 1713 to 1716. this means that this version of the concerto may have been the earliest flute concerto ever composed, and also the first flute piece to include the problematic high f. sardelli's conclusions, if correct, would overturn "the received scholarly view that, rather than writing for the recorder in the first two or three decades of the eighteenth century, then switching over to the flute, vivaldi already preferred the flute in the 1710s and did not start writing for the recorder until the early 1720s".
