Primavera estate it

The Four Seasons (Le quattro stagioni in the original Italian) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. Penned in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of classical music.

The concertos were first published in 1725 as part of a set of 12, Vivaldi's Op. 8, entitled Il Cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione ("The Contest of Harmony and Invention"). The first four concertos were designated Le quattro stagioni, each being named after a season.

The texture of each concerto is varied, resembling its respective season. Giacche. For example, "Winter" is dark and somber, whereas "Summer" invokes a thunderstorm in its final movement.

Vivaldi wrote four sonnets, to be read with the four concertos. The sonnets are as follows in the original Italian with an English translation:

In addition to these sonnets, Vivaldi provided instructions such as "The barking dog" (in the first movement of "Spring"), "Languor caused by the heat" (in the first movement of "Summer"), and "the drunkards have fallen asleep" (in the second movement of "Autumn").

The Four Seasons are, therefore, tone poems. Together they represent one of the earliest known examples of program music, and an enduring one. 9200.
