Four Seasons (Le Quattro Stagioni)

"Le Quattro Stagioni" (The Four Seasons) by Antonio Vivaldi is a set of four violin concertos, each representing one of the seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Composed in the early 18th century, these pieces evoke the moods, scenes, and sensations associated with each time of year through vivid melodies and expressive instrumentation. For example, Spring features lively, cheerful themes, while Winter portrays cold, icy sensations. The work is celebrated for its programmatic storytelling—using music to depict natural landscapes and seasonal activities—highlighting Vivaldi’s talent for blending musical artistry with vivid imagery.
