Selection: "Winter" from The Four Seasons
Composer: Antonio Vivaldi
The coming of winter is a seasonal shift from the warmer harvest months of autumn. ... These short strides bring to mind the bite of winter and our attempts to stomp our feet to keep warm. ... Overall, Vivaldis use of music to create a winter scene was very well done. ... The following was my interpretation of the chronology of these ideas, which may be a bit inaccurate because I still have trouble distinguishing the parts:
0-0:36 introductory musical Idea A
0:37-0:41 and 0:45-0:50 and 0:53-0:58 violin solos= Idea Bs (with short Idea As in between)
0:59-1:09 Idea A
1:10-1:22 Idea C
1:23-2:00 violin solo with gradual accompaniment
2:01-2:17 Idea A
2:18- 2:28 violin solo
2:29-2:57 varied but reminiscent of Idea A
2:59-3:24 Idea C ensemble with beginning emphasis on violins
Vivaldis use of solo and whole ensemble combinations interwoven with repetitions of musical ideas gives the piece enough variety to keep it interesting but also enough unity to keep the entire thing together.
