Concert

Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons is a set of four violin concerti, composed in 1723. It is probably Vivaldi's best known composition and the most performed musical work in the world.

It is a concerto for violin where a violin plays accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The content of each concerto is varied and evokes each of the seasons to which it refers. For example, winter is punctuated by pizzicato notes on the high strings, reminiscent of a cold rain, while summer evokes a thunderstorm in the final movement, prepared by the thunder that rumbles several times in the movement.
