The four seasons were composed by Antonio Vivaldi, an Italian composer. These are four violin concertos that give musical expression to the seasons of the year. It was published as 'Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione' ("The contest between Harmony and Invention"). The compositions were a revolution in musical concepts, each concerti included sonnets(poems possibly written by Vivaldi), and in his work he demonstrated musical representation of singing birds, buzzing flies, barking dogs, storms, landscapes, and warm winter fires. The Four Seasons: Violin Concerto No. 1 in E major, RV 269 'La primavera' ("Spring") I. Allegro II. Largo III. Danza pastorale Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, RV 315 'L'estate' ("Summer") I.

Allegro Violin Concerto No. 4 in F minor, RV 297 'L'inverno' ("Winter") I. Allegro non molto II. Largo III. Allegro These four violin concertos have been arranged for the piano.

Every day, Antonio Vivaldi composes a new orchestral piece, and every day, the orphan Candida transcribes Vivaldi's masterpiece into sheet music for the Invisible Orchestra. Nobody notices Candida or appreciates her hard work. But one day Candida accidentally slips a poem she wrote into the sheet music and the girl so often behind the shadows gets recognized for her own talents. Vivaldi really did have an Invisible Orchestra made up of orphan girls he taught to play. This beautiful book pays tribute to their inspiration.

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.
