What can you tell me about Antonio Vivaldi's music?

Question

What do you think about his music?

Answer 1

Yes, he wrote The Four Seasons but he also wrote another 500 concertos for just about every conceivable instrument or combination of instruments. He really established the three-movement concerto form which Bach copied and, in turn, most composers thereafter copied.

I would urge you to listen to Vivaldi beyond The Four Seasons. As great as it is, it represents only a tiny proportion of Vivaldi's great music and is desperataly overplayed (often not particularly well).

Answer 2

Lots of young musicians play Vivaldi for their first concerto because he wrote lots of student concertos while he was a teacher at a girl's school. I have a soft spot in my heart for his Violin Concerto in A minor because I played it in the ninth grade.

Answer 3

the most obvious info is that he's famous for creating the classical piece, "the four seasons." Each part represents the seasons - summer, winter, spring, and autumn. It was composed in 1723. You have most likely heard "Spring," it's been played on many commercials, etc.

Answer 4

i personally like his music more than other classical music. he composed the four seasons.
