Vivaldi’s Four Seasons: Music & Poetry In Harmony


Listen Later

Description
Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is a highly celebrated work. But did you know that poetry was also published along with it? You can check out the full poetry on the Charlotte Symphony website. Join me, as we take a minute to get the scoop!

Fun Fact
Vivaldi’s opera Giustino, which was also written in 1723, has similarities to The Four Seasons. In the middle of Act I, there’s a short sinfonia, and we can hear what Vivaldi did with the theme from the first movement of his (then) new concerto.
