Vivaldi is usually rated third most important composer in the Baroque Period (roughly 1600 to 1750), after Bach and Handel. He wrote some music that is still familiar to the general public even if they don’t know his name. Here is one of his most well-known works from his four-movement violin concerto, or four one movement violin concertos, called The Four Seasons. This composition is famous not just for its memorable melodies, but for being one of the first to depict nature in music: the heat of summer, flies buzzing, freezing weather, storms, etc. The video is of the first movement: Spring.
