The first four concertos were designated Le quattro stagioni, each being named after a season. 8, entitled Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The Contest between Harmony and Invention). For example, "Winter" is peppered with silvery pizzicato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often dubbed "Storm."The concertos were first published in 1725 as part of a set of twelve concerti, Vivaldi's Op. The texture of each concerto is varied, each resembling its respective season. Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music. The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi.
