It then picks up to an allegro which grows in crescendo to a mezzo forte . Again the music dies down to a staccato piano violin , then to a fortissimo that thunders suddenly . This movement style is an alteration between a solo violin and forte sessions which the whole ensemble plays

and ends with a thunder . Summer III starts forte and picks up its pace . This movement has a good display of staccato playing by the violin

Violin Concerto in F minor , Op . 8 Nr . 4 winter ' 1 starts with a mezzo allegro that is a staccato . The soft music increases in tempo . The melody is dynamic and moves from piano to mezzo piano then to mezzo forte and eventually forte . It ends in a crescendo . Winter II starts with a solo violin which is mezzo forte and later gets ritardando and dies off . The whole orchestra rejoins and progresses to a diminuendo leaving a legato violin solo . The finish is a diminuendo . Winter 3 starts with a high pitched violin solo which rises in volume as the ensemble joins in . Midway it slows down to almost a stop . Then picks up a crescendo again which takes this movement to the end

I enjoyed the concerts which had a baroque style of music . The thing that amazed me was the Bach piece did not have a conductor . This according to Goltz (2006 ) was an 18th century practice . This was a very positive experience that made me appreciate the sophistication that had been developed by the composers
