Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos, composed in 1723. It is undoubtedly Vivaldi's most famous composition and the most performed musical work in the world. It is a violin concerto where the soloist plays accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The content of each part is varied and evokes each of the seasons to which it relates. For example, winter is punctuated by pizzicato notes on the high strings, reminiscent of icy rain, while summer evokes a storm in the final movement, prepared by thunder rumbling repeatedly in the movement.
