Antonio Vivaldi A boss like no other.
Vivaldi’s early life • 4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741 • Geboren in Venedig, Italien • Hatte gesundheitliche Probleme, strettezzadipetto, asthma. • Nicknamed, ilPreteRosso, which means ‘The Red Priest’ • Lernte Geige in einem frühen Alter.
Works • Most known for ‘The Four Seasons’ • Meisten seiner Werke und Opern gingen verloren. • Operas: • Ottone in Villa • Orlando FintoPazzo • Artabano re deiParti
Vivaldi’s musical style • He likes to use large, full orchestras, and then have a long intricate violin solo, which you can hear in Fall and Winter. • His music in intricate, but has an overall theme and idea that moves the piece.
Examples • Storm (for Lee) • Winter • Fall
Mah Opinions • Of the baroque composers, Vivaldis my favorite. His intricate style doesn’t overwhelm the piece, and he keeps one idea present through the entirety of the song.
