What is your favorite 'season' in the Four Seasons by Vivaldi?

Best Answers

I personally favour L'Inverno as it sounds very dramatic to me. Also as a violinist, I appreciate how most of the song is violin solo. There is also just that rush of feeling at the sixteenth notes where the whole orchestra plays. Last thing I'd say is fantastic is the non open key signature that gives suspense. read more

you know, vivaldi wrote 8 other concertos in the same opus as the four seasons. But my favorite would be Winter, followed closely by Summer, followed closely by Tempest di Mare (the 5th one) and then Spring. read more

At times the deviation from Vivaldi’s actual composition make it seem as though a better title would be “Variations on a theme by Vivaldi” rather than “The Four Seasons”. Additionally, parts of it felt like they were being played fiddle-style rather than in a classical violin manner. Nevertheless, it makes for interesting listening. read more
