Just rediscovered this - my favorite since I was 18:
Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 3 No. 6 (RV 356)
Antonio Vivaldi
From L'Estro Armonico ('Harmonic Inspiration', a set of 12 concerti published by Vivaldi as his Opus 3.)

Interesting thought - since this was first published in 1711, it may well have been first performed by an all-female ensemble!:
"Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà , an orphanage for poor and illegitimate children where Vivaldi worked between 1703 and 1740."
