Composed in 1723, they remain among the most popular concertos in all music. The texture of each movement is varied, resembling its respective season. For example, â??Winterâ?? is dark and sombre, whereas â??Summerâ?? invokes a thunderstorm in its final movement. Vivaldi wrote four sonnets to be read with the concerti â?? here translated into English overleaf.
