The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a

The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a

Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi's

varied, each resembling its respective season. For
example, "Winter" is peppered with silvery staccato
notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain,
whereas "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in its final
movement, which is why said movement is often dubbed
'Storm'. The concertos were first published in 1725 as
part of a set of twelve concerti, Vivaldi's Op. 8,
entitled Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The
Contest between Harmony and Invention). The first four
concertos were designated Le quattro stagioni, each
being named after a season. Each one is in three
movements, with a slow movement between two faster
ones. At the time of writing The Four Seasons, the
modern solo form of the concerto had not yet been
defined (typically a solo instrument and accompanying
orchestra). Vivaldi's original arrangement for solo
violin with string quartet and basso continuo helped to
define the form. (from Wikipedia)
