Vivaldi, Antonio (1678–1741) Italian composer and violinist. Besides operas and sacred music, Vivaldi wrote over 450 concertos, including a set of four violin concertos entitled The Four Seasons. Vivaldi achieved fame in Venice by emulating the style of Archangelo Corelli's famous Opus 6, a collection of twelve violin concertos (including the baroque war-horse #8, the Christmas Concerto) that were not unlike the several collections that Vivaldi published. It was Opus 3 that brought fame to Vivaldi. L'Estro Armonico ("The Musical Inspiration") is a collection of twelve concertos for violin that established Vivaldi's style: tight, rhythmic compositions, three fast-slow-fast movements, and dazzling instrument solos. |
