Vivaldi winter piano3/23/2023 ![]() The bass part require a lot of repeated notes & jumping around but the version that was put together by André Rieu is very playable. Once I downloaded the piano sheet music to a piece written by D Shostakovich originally for a small band. I'd normally do a Google search on Vivaldi Winter sheet music, go to the tab and browse through different online versions with a piano (with/without another instrument) to see which one I'm comfortable playing. People who play other instruments can put the simulation together but never try the uploaded version to see whether it would be 100% playable. The reason is simple: the person who put together the simulation may not be a piano/keyboard player. I don't usually like learning music from computer simulations. If you see 1 of the lower notes played together that is the same but in a different octave such as a higher & lower E, I'd omit 1 of the Es to make playing easier. The only note you would always keep the same is the top note because this is your melody line. If I see 2 notes played together with the same hand that is too far apart, I'd move 1 of the notes up or down an octave closer to the other note. In most cases we can play up to 4 on each hand and the distance between notes does matter. ![]() With a piano we only have 5 fingers in each hand. This means the gap between notes played by different instruments would not matter. In a string ensemble you have 5 instruments playing independently from each other. The other approach would be to re-arrange the piece for 4-hand piano meaning you have 2 pianists accompanying each other so you can split some of the parts that require big jumps to the second pianist. I once tried to re-arrange the piece with the solo violin left alone and the notes from the other instruments as piano (violin1 & 2 for right hand, cello for left hand & viola as either L or R depending on note distance). The other parts would have different instruments playing together and some parts would have all the instruments playing together (tutti). In the beginning there are certain passages where the solo violin would be by itself (in this case the R on the piano playing 1 note at a time). ![]() played on top followed by violin1 & solo violin doing B-B-B-B. on top followed by violin2 playing Db-Db-Db-Db. The original intro started with 1 the cello doing F-F-F-F. Bach transcribed a number of Vivaldi's concerti for solo keyboard, along with a number for orchestra, including the famous Concerto for Four Violins and Violoncello, Strings and Continuo (RV 580).I have a copy of the original which was for a string ensemble (cello, viola, violin2, violin1 & solo violin). Johann Sebastian Bach was deeply influenced by Vivaldi's concertos and arias (recalled in his Johannes Passion, Matthäuspassion, and cantatas). Vivaldi is considered one of the composers who brought Baroque music (with its typical contrast among heavy sonorities) to evolve into a classical style. This popularity soon made him famous in other countries such as France which was, at the time, very independent concerning its musical taste. The joyful appearance of his music reveals in this regard a transmissible joy of composing these are among the causes of the vast popularity of his music. Moreover, Vivaldi was able to compose nonacademic music, particularly meant to be appreciated by the wide public and not only by an intellectual minority. Vivaldi's music is innovative, breaking a consolidated tradition in schemes he gave brightness to the formal and the rhythmic structure of the concerto, repeatedly looking for harmonic contrasts and innovative melodies and themes. ![]() Most of Vivaldi's repertoire was rediscovered only in the first half of the 20th century in Turin and Genoa and was published in the second half. Many of Vivaldi's compositions reflect a flamboyant, almost playful, exuberance. The Four Seasons, a series of four violin concerti, is his best-known work and a highly popular Baroque piece. Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (Maâ July 28, 1741), nicknamed il Prete Rosso ("The Red Priest"), was a Venetian priest and Baroque music composer, as well as a famous virtuoso violinist he was born and raised in the Republic of Venice.
