Composer and virtuoso violinist Antonio Vivaldi is best known for his group of four violin concerti, each of which offers a musical expression of a season of the year. Written circa 1720, they rank among the earliest examples of program music, or music with a narrative element. This edition of the perennially popular work features distilled selections from the entire score that have been specially adapted for beginning pianists. Directions for downloading MP3 files of each piece are included.
