On IMSLP, Vivaldi's spring can be found here: https://imslp.org/wiki/Violin_Concerto_ ... C_Antonio)

Since Vivaldi's manuscript for this piece is lost, the most historical source is the first edition from 1725 under the "Parts" tab. You'll probably find this difficult to read since it doesn't come with a score, and looks different seeing as it's a typeset from so long ago. You'll probably want one of the more recent editions; parts uploaded by IMSLP users who I'm sure have done a good job transcribing the original, but there's also a score from a professional publishing house available under the Scores tab.

Note that the original scoring is for solo violin, 2 violins, viola and figured bass. Version for piano or other instruments are therefore not original, but arrangements that someone has made.

Is it the same as in here (https://musescore.com/user/33486463/scores/5906687) or this one is more original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPaUtnJTMn8)?
