Presto TEMPESTUOUS SUMMERTIME The shepherd is right to be afraid. The sky flashes and the thunder is awesome. Grain and fruit are destroyed by the storm.Vivaldi's "Summer" is part of the Four Seasons, a group of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, each of which gives musical expression to a season of the year. "Summer" is known for its vivid musical depiction of a thunderstorm in the "Presto" movement, where Vivaldi uses music to tell the story of a summer storm. The piece is a concerto, featuring the talent and skill of a solo performer, and the solo part is especially flashy and technically difficult to perform. The Four Seasons is a popular and well-known work that has been recorded by many classical musicians, with variations in performances and embellishments. The composition presents opportunities for improvisation, and many period-based ensembles have recorded it.
