Appreciation of Spring, One of the Suite of Violin Concerto Four Seasons

/kloc-The violin concerto "Four Seasons" by Italian composer Vivaldi in the 0/8th century is a familiar work for music lovers. Because of its beautiful melody, fresh meaning, strong sense of image and high skill, it is favored by violinists and listeners. This violin suite written in 1725 is the greatest and most famous of Vivaldi's 523 concertos. It has been played for centuries and has become an extremely precious musical heritage in the treasure house of human culture. The violin suite "Four Seasons" is the first four pieces of a set of large-scale work "Harmony and Creative Attempt" composed of 12 concertos, which was created by Vivaldi in 1725 and dedicated to Bohemian Count W. von Morzin. It is also an extremely important representative work in his concerto genre music creation. Vivaldi put violin solo in a more important position in the writing of this work. Of course, although it is not the dominant position, it can't compete with the whole band, but the composer's difficult skills in it are considered as the pioneer and inspiration for the establishment of violin concerto form in the19th century. In order to make the audience better understand the meaning of music, Vivaldi wrote a short poem with 14 lines on the title page of the violin suite "Four Seasons" to briefly describe the music content of each movement. Here, we just read these wonderful poems, and we will indulge in them and enter beautiful dreams and meditation with them. Vivaldi's violin suite "Four Seasons" consists of four independent concertos, named Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter respectively, and each concerto contains three movements.

These four concertos are:

Spring, three movements: 1. Allegro, including: (1) the return of spring, (2) the singing of birds, (3) the whispering of the forest,

(4) Lightning and thunder.

2. Broadly speaking, this slow movement includes: the clouds and rain stopped, the birds sang touching songs again, and the shepherd boy and his faithful dog dozed off on the grass full of flowers.

3. Allegro, country dance music in the sound of bagpipes.

In summer, three actions: 1. Don't allegro too fast: summer is hot and people and animals are depressed; Rhododendron, turtledove, golden wing

The cry of sparrows; The gentle voice of the breeze was interrupted by the storm, and the shepherd boy cried for fear of the coming storm.

2. Flexible board to emergency board. Thunder disturbed the shepherd boy's sleep. He tried to sleep again, but flies and mosquitoes bit him.

3. Surfboard, summer storm.

Autumn, three movements: 1. Allegro, the dance of farmers' harvest; Drinking wine and being in high spirits; After the celebration, I felt very sleepy.

2. Adagio, get drunk.

3. Allegro, hunting; The horn of hunting; Gunfire and dog barking; The prey escaped and died of injury.

In winter, three actions: 1. Allegro not too fast, winter is coming, terrible wind, frozen teeth fighting.

2. It's wide and slow, it's freezing rain outside, and the people inside keep the quiet mind of the fire.

3. Allegro, describing "walking slowly" on the ice, someone fell into the ice cave. Go back to the house and listen to the outdoor "Fengshen War".

At the end of this work, Vivaldi marked: "This is winter, but this winter brings joy."

works appreciation

The first movement in the concerto "Spring" (Op. RV.269) is a cheerful allegro, and Vivaldi once wrote a poem for it at the title of the title page of the score: "Spring has come, birds are singing, and they are extremely happy to welcome the arrival of spring. The spring is gurgling and the breeze is blowing gently, as if whispering. The sky is overcast with clouds, and lightning and thunder come to herald spring. In an instant, the wind stopped raining and birds sang again. " The second movement is broadboard, and the related poem reads: "The shepherd is lying on the grass, and the faithful shepherd dog is beside him. The flowers are blooming, the scenery is pleasant, and the shadows are swaying gently. " Corresponding to the slow style of the second movement, the third movement of the concerto is cheerful dance music. The poem of this movement is: "Spring shines on the earth, the country flute is sweet, and the goddess and the shepherd boy dance in the charming bushes." Look, this is a beautiful picture of spring drawn by Vivaldi for people. It is a wonderful movement full of infinite warmth and birds and flowers.

The first movement of the concerto Summer (Op. RV.3 15) is Allegro. Vivaldi once described the hot and restless summer in his poems: "The summer sun is like fire, people and animals are thirsty, cuckoos sing, turtledoves and goldfinches sing." The second movement after the first movement is a piece of music with alternating adagio and allegro. The poem is: "flies and a group of angry bumblebees fly wildly for fear of thunder, which makes people restless." The third movement of "Summer" is Allegro. The composer's poem here is: "The sky thunders, the ground thunders, and the hail knocks down corn and millet, destroying crops." In the composer's works, summer is such a exhausting, depressing and anxious movement.

The first movement of the concerto "Autumn" (Op. RV.293) is outlined by Allegro, and Vivaldi wrote in the poem: "Farmers are singing and dancing, celebrating the harvest and drinking and having fun." After the joyful mood, the second movement of the concerto turned into a very pleasant adagio. The poem reads: "The earth is full of joy, and the autumn is crisp, inviting people to sleep." After this intoxicating second movement, the third movement of the concerto was played with an extremely warm allegro. The poetry of this movement is: "At dawn, hunters wear horns and shotguns and lead the hounds out of the house. The shotgun rang, the hounds barked and the frightened beast ran away. " In the concerto Autumn, Vivaldi described a vast field and countryside for us, as well as an indescribable good mood of people immersed in the joy of labor harvest.

The first movement of the concerto "Winter" (Op. RV.297) is Allegro. Vivaldi's text prompt for this piece of music is like this: "The ice and snow are biting. People are shivering, their teeth are chattering, and they are shivering with cold. " In this movement, Vivaldi used extremely vivid musical words to describe a cold scene of the north wind in winter. The second movement is broadboard, and the poem says, "Living by the fireplace is comfortable and satisfying." Compared with the first movement, this piece is full of warm breath and quiet atmosphere, which seems to be a beautiful dream of people who have worked hard for a year in winter. The third movement is Allegro, and the inscription is: "Sliding on the ice is slow and careful, and I am most afraid of wrestling, but I took a sharp turn and slipped to the ground." This is a sport full of humor. Vivaldi once wrote in the score: "This is winter. Although it brings cold to people, it also brings great happiness. " Although the winter described by the composer Vivaldi in the concerto Winter is cold and bleak, it also contains a yearning and hope for spring. After all, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Vivaldi's violin suite "Four Seasons", with its bright melody and strong musical image, is still deeply welcomed and loved by people after hundreds of years of tests, and people can't help but sigh heartily. (zt)

Violin Concerto for Sonnets of Four Seasons

Vivaldi's Four Seasons Violin Concerto has a sonnet in every movement:

spring

Spring has come, happily.

Birds greet it with happy songs;

A stream blown by the west wind,

Run forward with a sweet whisper.

Then, cover the air with a black cloak,

Choose lightning and thunder to predict it;

Then, when all this is silent,

The birds have returned to their sweet charm.

Now in the pleasant flower meadow,

With the soft whispers of branches and grass,

The shepherd sleeps with his faithful dog.

Accompanied by the pastoral bagpipes of the festival,

Fairy and shepherd are dancing under their beloved sky.

When spring shines.

summer

In the harsh season scorched by the sun,

People and sheep are weak, pine trees wither;

The cuckoo raised its voice, and once it was heard,

Turtledoves and goldfinches sing.

Zephyr plays well, but in the competition,

Boreas suddenly moved nearby;

The shepherd boy cries, because, in suspense,

He is afraid of violent storms and his own fate.

His tired limbs can't rest.

Fear of lightning and thunder,

And a group of angry flies and green-headed flies!

Unfortunately, his fears are justified,

The sky is full of thunder and lightning,

Hail cut off the proud straw.

autumn

Farmers celebrate with dances and songs.

The joy of happy harvest;

Glowing with the wine of Bacchus,

Many people end their revelry with sleep.

The mild air that brings such pleasure,

Cause all to stop dancing and singing;

This is the season to invite everyone.

Sweet sleep.

Hunters hunt at dawn,

Set out with horns, guns and hounds.

The beast fled, and they followed its footsteps;

I have been exhausted by the noise.

Guns and hounds, wounded creatures

Weakly tried to escape, but was defeated and died.

winter

Trembling, freezing, in the cold snow

The harsh breath of the terrible wind;

Keep stamping your feet while running;

I feel my teeth chattering in the cold.

Spend a quiet and contented day by the fire,

The rain outside wet hundreds of people;

Walking slowly on the ice,

Because of fear of falling, turn around carefully;

Turn suddenly, slip, fall,

Step on the ice again and run fast.

Until the ice cracks.

Yes, when they break into houses,

West Rock, boreas, and all the winds in the war.

It's winter, but it brings such joy!
