The Four Seasons (Vivaldi)

The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a group of four violin concerti by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, each of which gives a musical expression to a season of the year. They were written about 1723 and were published in 1725 in Amsterdam, together with eight additional violin concerti, as Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione ("The Contest Between Harmony and Invention").

The Four Seasons is the best known of Vivaldi's works. Unusually for the time, Vivaldi published the concerti with accompanying poems (possibly written by Vivaldi himself) that elucidated what it was about those seasons that his music was intended to evoke. It provides one of the earliest and most-detailed examples of what was later called program music—music with a narrative element.

Vivaldi took great pains to relate his music to the texts of the poems, translating the poetic lines themselves directly into the music on the page. In the middle section of the Spring concerto, where the goatherd sleeps, his barking dog can be marked in the viola section. Other natural occurrences are similarly evoked. Vivaldi separated each concerto into three movements, fast-slow-fast, and likewise each linked sonnet into three sections. His arrangement is as follows:

Violin Sonata No. 5 (Beethoven)

The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Opus 24, is a violin sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is often known as the "Spring" sonata (Frühlingssonate), and was published in 1801. Its dedicatee was Count Moritz von Fries, a patron to whom the fourth violin sonata, the string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony were also dedicated.

The work is in four movements:

  • Allegro
  • Adagio molto espressivo
  • Scherzo: Allegro molto
  • Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo

    • The Scherzo and its trio are particularly brief. The entire sonata takes approximately 22 minutes to perform. The "Spring Sonata" was the name given to it after Beethoven died.

    The Allegro movement is featured in the stage show Fame.

    Spring

    by: Everfound

    Sipping coffee in the morning
    Staring out the kitchen window
    As the pale face of winter is staring back at me
    In a silent conversation
    Thoughts are speaking to each other
    And I somehow start to wonder
    If spring is ever breaking through
    Take me away
    Lock me in the attic
    I've been doubting too much lately
    I don't want to start a panic
    Chorus:
    Is there anybody in here?
    All that's left is apathy
    And my empty house is aching anxiously
    For spring
    Shovel out onto the driveway
    Start the car and push the pedal
    As the pressure of this weather is pushing on
    My head
    My eyes are tired and feel like crying
    But it's not loud enough to drown out tears
    Rolling down my face
    Need to escape
    I've been doubting too much lately
    Maybe I'll stray or maybe I'll find me
    Chorus:
    Is there anybody in here?
    All that's left is apathy
    And my empty house is aching anxiously
    For spring
    Come on summer; paint the pale skies
    Shades of blue, shades of you
    'Cause my empty house is aching anxiously
