The Four Seasons consists of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. They were composed in 1723, and first published in 1725. The set is Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music. The texture of each concerto is varied, each resembling its respective season. For example, "Winter" is peppered with silvery staccato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often dubbed "Storm."
Each concertos is broken up into three movements shown below:
- Allegro
- Largo
- Allegro Pastorale
- Allegro Non Molto
- Adagio e Piano - Presto e Forte
- Presto
- Allegro
- Adagio Molto

- Allegro Non Molto
