"Everyone is made to forget their cares and to sing and dance by the air which is tempered with pleasure, and (by) the season that invites so many, many out of their sweetest slumber to fine enjoyment." Vivaldi's four most famous violin concerti, known collectively as The Four Seasons, are programmatic pieces based on a series of sonnets of unclear origin (though it is often supposed that Vivaldi wrote them himself). In Autumn, the third concerto, we hear harvest celebrations, drunken peasants, barking dogs, and hunting horns. This edition for violin with piano reduction is edited by Maurizio Carnelli, and contains a play-along CD.
