[AshaYuu]

@gstephenson23 The painting is called "Venice receives from Neptune the gifts of the sea" by Giambattista Tiepolo.

[InbictaProductionzZ]

whenever i mention fugue, people always start talking about bach. yes bach was indeed a great developer and writer of fugal music, but how can somebody ingore these fugues? they're incredible!

Hey HARMONICO101 ,congratulations for your channel...Can you got me some sheet music of Vivaldi ? this for example

[lisakirara]

Breath Taking! im only 19 but listen to it since im a child. Epic.

[KosteckiAdam]

I love Vivaldi music! This is a exiting performance!

[munstergamer]

I'm a student trying to find a violin cercerto thats a little harder than the A minor concerto that isn't too intense. But nonetheless impressive

[violalord1]

I am trying to perfect my baroque composition a little better and I'm just using random vivaldi to understand counterpoint between main theme and basso continuo so...it seems more progressing than an actually melody...

[Guarneris]

Cgordon, I get your point, Biographers say that he needed to sell concerts to survive and he produces then at factory scale. However, I have a greater puzzle for you and for Vivaldi lovers (I am one). Four seasons (Op. 8) is totally different in many respect to any other Vivaldi piece. You can divide Vivaldi in 4-sesons and everything else, Why is that?

[weshen83]

I would say because he had taste ;-)

Most composers are limited in their taste because they are pushed into it in early childhood, and they mostly lack talent.

Vivaldi clearly had talent.

[cornomedale]

grazie armoico !

[Mattmerg93]

What is the painting's name?

[BarroHandel]

do you have the

Concert R.V. 127?, because is wonderfould that concert really, very wonderfould,

ah!, I love that Telemann´s Cantata TWV 1..."sEELE, LERN DICH...", congratulations

[HARMONICO101]

Yes, I do actually have the concerto for strings in D minor RV127 uploaded.

[HARMONICO101]

We can tell by the style that they were composed at different points in his life. This one in particular is later one, hence the fugal second and fourth movements.

[HARMONICO101]

Sorry mean't First and THIRD movements.

[Thingolfin]

Nice Concerto, but it makes me wonder that the opening movement sounds like a final movement: the triplets remind clearly of a concluding Giga.

It does not sound like a typical Vivaldian opening movement... But nevertheless I enjoy listening to it.

[HARMONICO101]

Other than the 12/8 time signature, I don't think this sounds like a final movement. It seems to create a mood more than end in a spectalur fashion.

The fugue is awesome though.

[Guarneris]

Harmonicco: I think not only sounds like, but those are the same notes. This concert is an experiment in which Vivaldi creates a whole concert treating a single melody in different ways, you can easily spot this in the first and second movement but the third is accommodated in FUGA phrases that hide the melody. It is wonderful thought Thanks you a lot for posting it.

[ikelleners]

@HARMONICO101 Which painting is that?

[Guarneris]

I agree, note also melody in first mov. is exactly as in the second mov, only that is played very slowly. So, one melody in three mov.

[noospaseisde]

HAAA this is music... Long life to Barroque Empire !

[Andore23]

Beautiful concerto!! This is one of my favorites. Thanks!!! =)
