Despite originating in a religious institution, the print copies were widely distributed throughout Europe, with 20 reprintings of Estienne Roger's Amsterdam edition between and Sales were slightly more successful than those of Vivaldi's famous collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione which contained The Four Seasons.

In London John Walsh , Handel 's printer, published the twelve concertos in two instalments in and , when he also published all twelve in one volume, with individual concertos included in later collections. In London his version was pirated by other printing firms in the s; and in Paris there were five or more reprintings from the late s to the early s. The works were also transmitted through manuscript copies, often of individual concertos, the most popular by far being Op.

In a London catalogue from , the solo part for each of the three concertos was advertised for a sum of sixpence per concerto; and in a different catalogue from , the solo part with an added bass line was advertised at a price of one shilling per concerto. Few Italian violinists promoted Vivaldi in England. In the case of Francesco Geminiani , this was due partly to his allegiance to his teacher Corelli and partly to his own ambitions as a composer. On the other hand, in London the violinist Matthew Dubourg , another student of Francesco Geminiani , is known to have given many performances of the fifth concerto at least as early as and used it for training his pupils; this is recounted by one of them, Francis Fleming, in the autobiographical novel "The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Timothy Ginnadrake":.

At this time he had a great desire to learn the violin, and his father knowing something of it himself, initiated him; he improved so fast that he soon put it out of the power of his father to instruct him. The old gentleman finding he had a genius for music, engaged a famous musician, one Dubourg, to teach him; he also improved greatly under this professor: And indeed that instrument requires it, if a student is resolved to make any great proficiency. The Irish violinist John Clegg , a child prodigy who studied with both Geminiani and Dubourg, is also known to have been an advocate of Vivaldi's concertos, although no records specifically mention L'estro armonico.

To illustrate the extent to which "Vivaldi's Fifth" had entered the popular culture, Talbot mentions a musical entertainment where a performance was advertised in a programme involving "rope-dancing, tumbling, vaulting and equilibres", with dances that included "the Drunken Peasant", a "Hornpipe in wooden shoes" and new "Morrice dances".

In a essay, Oliver Goldsmith recorded the following anecdote about the celebrated blind Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan:. Being once at the home of an Irish nobleman, where there was a musician present who was eminent in the profession, Carolan immediately challenged him to a trial of skill. To carry the jest forward, his lordship persuaded the musician to accept the challenge, and he accordingly played over the fifth concerto of Vivaldi.

Carolan, immediately taking his harp, played over the whole piece after him, without missing a note, though he had never heard it before: The violinist is not named, but commentators have suggested Geminiani, Dubourg or Clegg; as Talbot points out, it is unlikely to have been Geminiani, because of his known antipathy to Vivaldi.

Transcriptions for harp of the third and fifth concertos survive in the collections of the another celebrated blind harpist, the Welshman John Parry ; they are held in the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. Under the entry for Harmonica or Armonica , a glass harmonica is described, about which its inventor, the Dublin physician Edward Cullen, writes:.

I myself, though very far from being an accomplished player, can with great ease go through all the parts of Fisher's celebrated rondeau; nay, I have heard the fifth concerto of Vivaldi played upon it with as much distinctness as upon a violin. There were numerous arrangements for keyboard instruments in the eighteenth century, as described in the next section.
