Vivaldi, a violin virtuoso<\/h2>\n

Born in 1678, Vivaldi began his music career under the wing of his father, Giovanni Battista, who was a violinist in the San Marco Basilica orchestra in Italy<\/a>. This was likely a huge factor influencing the approximately 230 solo violin concertos <\/em>Vivaldi composed over his lifetime. That\u2019s a lot of written music on its own, but it\u2019s only a chunk of the nearly 500 surviving concertos and 50 vocal compositions.<\/p>\n

His primary focus was string instruments, and The Four Seasons<\/em> is one of his greatest string compositions. He also earned the title of \u2018master of violin\u2019 at the Ospedale della Piet\u00e0 (Devout Hospital of Mercy) in his birthplace of Venice<\/a>. Popular with royalty as well, he composed the Gloria e Imeneo<\/em> just for wedding of King Louis XV. And did we mention the majority of his career he was a priest? Talk about successful!<\/p>\n

The Baroque musical movement<\/h2>\n

Vivaldi was a part of the Baroque musical movement, which occurred between 1600-1750. Not only was it a transitional period in classical and art music, but it was also a time of exploration and scientific accomplishments. More people were accommodating Copernicus\u2019 theory that the earth wasn\u2019t the center of the universe, and Galileo was making great strides in understanding the universe around us.<\/p>\n

Vivaldi lived during an exciting time for many aspects of life, and still managed to make his mark amongst an overwhelming variety of musical and scientific geniuses. So here\u2019s to you, Vivaldi\u2014may your music be celebrated<\/a> for centuries more!<\/p>\n
