"We feel the chill north winds course through the home despite the locked and bolted doors...this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights." Vivaldis 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). Winter, the fourth and last concerto, evokes icy paths, falling snow, cold winds, and cozy fires. This edition for violin with piano reduction is edited by Robert Girlamo.
