The Four Seasons, No. 1 -- Concerto for Violin in E - Spring (Le Quattro Stagioni -- La Primavera, Rv269/F.I -- 22) by Anonim Pdf
THE FOUR SEASONS concerti, Antonio Vivaldi's most popular works, are exemplary both as early, detailed examples of what would come to be called program music," but also because of the revolution in musical concepts necessary to make the music programmatic, with representations of singing birds (differentiated by species), buzzing flies, storms, flowing creeks, and shepherd and his barking dog, hunting parties, parties hunted, drunken dancers, frozen landscapes, and warm winter fires. Vivaldi even published the concerti with accompanyting sonnets that made clear what in each season the music was meant to invoke. While the other three concerti are wholly original, "Spring" actually borrows patterns from Vivaldi's sinfonia in the first act of his opera IL GIUSTINO. Instrumentation in set: Org or Hpchd: Str (8-8-5-5-5): Solo Vn."

The Four Seasons and the rest of the concertos in Op. 8 represent Vivaldi's remarkable innovation in the field of the Baroque concerto. This detailed guide examines the work's origin and construction in a way that enables the reader to distinguish what is extraordinary about the Seasons and what constitutes the composer's customary method of 'characterising' the solo concerto. Drawing on recent research and his own expertise in the appraisal of Vivaldi's manuscripts, the author draws interesting and sometimes startling conclusions about the conception of the Seasons, the origin of their programme, the dating of the concertos and the rationale behind the collection's ritornello-form structures and aria-like slow movements. The significance of Vivaldi's idiosyncratic art is thus revealed in some of the most popular concert music of all time.
