Vivaldi Four Seasons and Spring

Reaction

After discovering the musical genius behind the man , it is evident that Vivaldi 's Four Seasons is an epitome of musical artistry commonly found only to the very select few that history finds deserving of such a commendation . First and foremost , it can be based on the fact that the aforementioned musical piece is able to effectively convey to its audience the intended themes , even prior to witnessing the respective paintings and /or sonnets that represent the particular season . As such we are made willing participants to the barrage of emotional

appeals that it presents from the tranquility that the birds are able to effectuate , the trepidation that goes along with the seeming announcement of a coming storm , to the merry dance of a lively melody that seems to welcome spring in full gratitude and excitement , even as it is emphasized in the lines , Spring has arrived , and full of joy The birds greet it with their happy song . The streams , swept by gentle breezes , flow along with sweet murmur (TEXTBOOK AUTHOR 299

More notably , perhaps one of the endearing aspects for making this musical piece such a prime example of artistry is its intrinsic capacity to allow its audience to experience life in its entirety , taking into consideration all of the emotions that one experiences in his or her lifetime , and compressing all of these in the limited duration of the aforementioned piece . Indeed , it very seldom that music is able to be as effective in creating very diverse yet related emotions , as The Four Seasons of Vivaldi fittingly creates
