RameshSurve hates Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The 18th century masterpiece grates on his nerves, gives him a headache and makes him grouchy. Yet, Surve has tuned into Vivaldi's composition for eight hours — day in, day out. Surve isn't a masochist; he's a liftman.

For the past 15 years, Surve has spent his days sitting on a wooden chair, punching buttons (which he does with cold precision and repressed anger) and listening to elevator music. That's where Vivaldi comes in, mostly.

    Antonio Lucio Vivaldi wrote the Four Seasons. Vivaldi was born in Venus, Italy. His favorite family of instruments to work with was the strings. In fact, he himself was a violinist. Vivaldi is best known for his work on the Four Seasons, which were a series of violin concertos. He was known for his flaming red hair that eventually gave him the neck name Red Haired Priest. As a priest, although very devote to his church, he was not successful. They forced him to quit because of his extreme caring and giving ways. He would help anyone he saw in need of aid. Vivaldi was known to have even starved himself at times in order to keep those around him healthy. The church, however, saw this as his flaw and, for this reason, dispatched him of his duty to the church.…

    Throughout centuries, the four seasons by Antonio Vivaldi have been very famous and well-known by people who are obsessed with Western art music all over the world.

    It is only through recognizing the violence and sensuality at the center of Mozart's work that we can make a start towards a comprehension of his structures and an insight into his magnificence. In a paradoxical way, Schumann's superficial characterization of the G minor Symphony can help us to see Mozart's daemon more steadily. In all of Mozart's supreme expressions of suffering and terror, there is something shockingly voluptuous…

    Listening to music can be an inspiration, a motivation, or even a release. No two people have exactly the same taste in music. A decade seems like a small amount of time, however in the evolution of music, it could be a life time. Music divided by centuries can seem as different as night and day. However today music is often influenced and shaped by classical composers. Two such comparisons are Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Nickelback’s live concert performance of Animals, Woke up this Morning and Photograph.…

    As I considered what piece of music I would use for this analysis, I went through all the songs and listened to them to see which would be most appealing to me, and perhaps, quite honestly, the easiest to use. As I finished listening to all the pieces, I chose Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in G. My choice was no longer based on my perception of what would be easy, but rather based on what would be most challenging! So may I present……
