Vivaldi's The Four Seasons “Summer” and “Winter”, Handel’s “Sarabande”, Massenet’s “Méditation de Thaïs”, Bach’s “Aria”, Schubert’s “Ave Maria”, Rachmaninov’s “Vocalise”, Albinoni’s “Adagio in G Minor”, Brahms’s “Hungarian Dance No.

5”, Paganini’s “Andante Cantabile”, Chopin’s “Nocturne”, Elgar’s “Salut d’Amour” and Monti’s “Czardas”. The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi is a set of four violin concertos, composed in 1723.

It is arguably the best-known work by Vivaldi and the most performed piece of classical music in the world. It is a violin concerto in which the soloist plays accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The content of each part is varied and evokes the season to which it relates.

For example, winter is punctuated by pizzicato notes on the high strings, suggesting icy rain, whereas summer evokes a storm in the final movement, preceded by thunder rumbling several times throughout the movement.
