When I have a free time, I often listen to music of different genres. Classical music is the best when I want to relax. My favourite composer is Antonio Vivaldi. I love his series of violin concerts known as “The Four Seasons”. Vivaldi was born on March 4th 1678, in Venice. His father, Giovanni Battista, taught him to play the violin at the very young age. After Vivaldi learned how to play the violin, they toured Venice together playing music for people. By the age of 24 Antonio had a good music knowledge. He then started teaching it and soon he presented his first performance for the French Embassy. At the same time he started conducting the orchestra and staging concerts. His music then was full of drama. His violin-based works were marked by virtuosity. The complete collection of these works was published only in the 20th century.
Vivaldi is a great composer!
