Il Cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8 is a set of twelve violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. Rooted in the Baroque tradition, the collection features virtuosic violin writing, vivid programme-like movements and formal innovations that contributed to the development of the solo concerto and occupies an important place in Vivaldi's output and the concerto repertory.
