This the the second of a set of four violin concertos--The Four Seasons--by Vivaldi. It is composed in Baroque concerto form. It has three movements in fast, slow and fast order.
Vivaldi's instruments were the violon and the piano
Antonio Vivaldi plays flute, oboe, bassoon, cello and violin. Vivaldi already wrote more than 500 concertos and 230 of these are strings and instruments.
4 violins, 2 violas, 1 cello and 2 double basses. If you listen to it carefully, there is also a harpsichord playing in the background.
Vivaldi wrote literally hundreds of concerti (the Italian plural of concerto). He wrote concerti for solo violin (including the Four Seasons), for cello, for mandolin, for flute, for piccolo, and a number of concerti for combinations of solo instruments.
Vivaldi did not write for the clarinet since it hadn't been invented yet. Vivaldi DID write for Clarinet! His Concerto for Two Oboes and Two Clarinets in C major, RV 560 would like to take the previous poster up on a wager.
