Throughout centuries, the 4 seasons by Antonio Vivaldi have been really well-known and widely known by individuals who are consumed with Western art music all over the world. Many people have actually become aware of Antonio Vivaldi’s music concerto “spring”, but not actually familiar with the remainder of the 3 seasons: “summer season”, “fall”, “winter season”. In my knowledge, I believe that the winter one is most fascinating concerto out of 4 seasons. The paper compares the “winter season” concerto with the other three season of Vivaldi’s music.
Who did Vivaldi call it as winter but not spring, summer season either fall. His music can amazingly deliver pictures into one’s mind while listening. In spring allegro, the ritornello is really stunning and elegant that makes me filled with vitality and joy because of the delightful rhythm throughout the spring motion. Summer season concerto kind of makes me feel sleepy and slouching. Summer season allegro non molto sketches a contours of an extremely hot and lazy summer season.
In the latter half, the rhythm turns to be fast and anxious which hints that a rainstorm is coming. The fall concerto depicts a rejoice scene. It’s a harvest season, farmers are very happy and busy gathering in the crops. Then the winter Allegro, the rhythm sounds very cold and heavy. I could feel the coldness and biting wind in winter and white snow is just never going to stop. I can sense all these from Vivaldi’s winter concerto. This paper is going to explain the detail of the major differences from winter concerto and the other seasons.
