![]() Vivaldi’s symphony is lively, emotional, and diverse, so for all 45 minutes, I was interested in listening to it. I think this concert was amazing and I would like to be in that concert hall. This combination and repetition and contrasting elements create and convey the exact atmosphere of an unstable and varied winter mood. Although in the same movement, there are sharp changes in rhythm, timbre, and tempo, which sound against a smooth melody contrastly. However, winter also has pleasant moments, which sounds in the second movement, which more smoothly and elegantly conveys the mood of nice winter days. In addition, the themes in movements combine different rhythms that replace each other and make them sharper. These harmonic sequences allow musicians to show the cold, boredom, and harshness of winter, but at the same time keep the melody dynamic. Firstly, this part uses several Ritornello, that is, repetitions of theme that are used in music in Barroco. The Winter Concerto is one of the richest parts of the symphony. “Autumn” will end with a calm but solemn phrase, which marks the end of a successful season. In this movement, the listener can note an excellent example of harmonic sequences that repeat throughout the entire part. The third movement again fills with contrast and sensual melody, since it should reflect the joy and excitement. Joy and warmth are replaced by cold, sleepy, and dull autumn, which is reflected in the change of dynamics and tempo, which becomes slow and quiet. At the end of the movement, a gradual deceleration and “fading” of the melody are also heard, which prepares the listener for the next part. The first movement reflects the joy of a still warm spring and harvest festival hence, a listener can hear a fast rhythm in the theme performed by the orchestra and solo violin. In the Third Concerto, which depicts autumn, the tempo, as well as in parts of spring, changes from fast to slow and again to fast. ![]() In the third part, the viewer can also hear the use of a monophonic texture and its contrast with a polyphonic texture, and although it does not sound long, it is expressive. The movement begins with a slow Adagio and then turns into a fast Presto, while the solo of violin in piano transit in fortissimo in the final phrase, since the whole orchestra creates the melody. The second movement is also filled with contrasts in dynamics and texture. This feeling creates a fast pace, a vibrating melody, as well as a unison of sounds that are simultaneously picked up by the entire orchestra. The final contrasting phrase sounds like a summer storm that suddenly broke out on a summer day. The first movement is filled with a combination of melodies with various tempo and timbre, which displays the sounds of birds. It also consists of three movements that display different stories. The Second Concerto was written to convey the mood of summer with its vibrant and contrasting days. The dynamics of movements also change, so in the first and third movements, musicians mainly use forte to show the liveliness of the awakening nature, and the second movement sounds in piano by demonstrating the still sleepy mood of spring. In addition, the contrasts of the solo and the repeated main theme make it possible to hear different manifestations of spring nature: birds singing, a breath of wind, the murmur of a stream. In the first movement, one can hear the main theme repeating the orchestra after each solo, which adds fullness and completeness to the melody. The First Concerto consists of the first movement in a fast tempo, a second slow, and a third fast again, reflecting the changing mood of spring. The symphony consists of 12 movements, which are divided evenly into four seasons, the mood of which the author wanted to convey.
