Tentang eBook ini
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was an acclaimed Italian composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, impresario, and Catholic priest during the Baroque musical era.
Born in Venice, the capital of the Venetian Republic, Vivaldi is regarded as one of the greatest Baroque composers. In his time, his influence was felt across Europe, inspiring countless imitators and admirers. He was instrumental in shaping the instrumental music of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as the French concerto tradition (including Michel Corrette, Jean-Joseph de Mondonville, Louis-Nicholas Clérambault).
Vivaldi composed numerous instrumental concertos for violin and other instruments, sacred choral works, and over fifty operas. His most famous piece remains The Four Seasons, a sequence of violin concertos. Many of his works were written for the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children, and its all-female music ensemble. Vivaldi served as a Catholic priest in two stints, from 1703-1715 and 1723-1740. In Venice, Mantua, and Vienna, Vivaldi enjoyed some success staging his operas in lavish productions. After meeting Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna in hopes of gaining imperial patronage. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died in poverty less than a year later.
