Main Idea

Antonio Vivaldi ( was born Venice, 4 March 1678; died Vienna, 28 July 1741) was an Italian composer. He was the most important composer in Italy at the end of the Baroque period.

Vivaldi wrote more than 400 concertos for various instruments, especially for the violin.

His most popular work is the group of four violin concertos called “The Four Seasons”.Each concerto describes a season: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

112 sonatas for two violins and basso continuo 1705

12 sonatas for violin and basso continuo 1709

3 L'Estro Armonico (Harmonic Inspiration), 12 concertos for various combinations, of which the best known are the No. 6 in A minor for violin, No. 8 in the minor for two violins and No. 10 in B minor for four violins 1711

4 Stravaganza (Extravagance), 12 violin concertos c. 1714

5 Four sonatas for violin and two sonatas for two violins and basso continuo 1716

COMPOSING AND HIS MUSIC:

Vivaldi's music was becoming well known. During his break from teaching between 1709 and 1711 he wrote a large number of works including violin sonatas and concertos.

His most known composition is The four Seasons.

TRAVELS:

In 1718 Vivaldi left Venice and moved to Mantua, where he became the director of music for the governor, Prince Philip of Hesse-Darmstadt.

He composed his famous "Four Seasons" as well as several operas during this time.

DEATH:

Even though his music was popular, Vivaldi did not make a lot of money from his music. As newer musicians, and more modern styles became popular, he found it more difficult to earn a living. He died, a poor man, in Vienna, on 28 July 1741.
