'Antonio Vivaldi: Introductory Concepts\r'

'Introductory Concepts Composed by Antonio Vivaldi,” L’inverno” ( spend) is the twenty-five percent concerto of a set of violin concertos named â€Å"Le Quattro Stagioni” (The quadruplet seasons) that belong to a more complex lend titled â€Å"Il cimento dingle’armonia e dell’inventione” (The Contest of Harmony and Invention) (Grasmeier) . The structure of this piece is in ternary form. The piece begins with a fast rate and then slows down to finish fast and tinny again. Vivaldi makes use of mixed bag in this â€Å"Winter” account through dynamic when the music suddenly changes its vividness and in like manner through changes in pace.Although this concert is performed wholly by string instruments (mainly violins) he also achieves variety by using different techniques among the instruments (like pizzicato). Vivaldi’s â€Å"Winter” is considered a program music which means it moldiness tell a story. I imagi ne he is able to evoke cold, ice, chattering teeth, shivering bodies, and wind. counterbalance with a fast pace seems like a big storm is about to come, when the violins go in crescendo it feels almost like some race are running to get shelter, and the pizzicatos reminded me of shivering.I also believe that the high pitch of the violins helps to give the image of coldness. This chef-doeuvre is played by an instrumental ensemble, more specifically, an orchestra and has a violin entirely. The instruments involved are string instruments (violin macrocosm the predominant). The main melody or Idea A is played very loud and the violin solo is executed with bravura which gives more heart to the music. In all, I believe that this composition serves its purpose of creating mood and is also very delightful to listen to.\r\n'
