Antonio Vivaldi, Italian Composer

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi ( March 4, 1678 - July 28, 1741) was an Italian Baroque composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher and cleric. He is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his influence during his lifetime was widespread across Europe. He is known mainly for composing many instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than forty operas. His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons. Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children where Vivaldi (who had been ordained as a Catholic priest) was employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, he moved to Vienna, hoping for preferment. The Emperor died soon after his arrival, and Vivaldi himself died less than a year later in poverty at the age of 63. Vivaldi portrait painted by Francois Morellon de La Cave, 1723. The fact that the painting actually depicts Antonio Vivaldi has been questioned by some sources.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (4 de marzo de 1678 - 28 de julio de 1741) fue un compositor barroco italiano, violinista virtuoso, maestro y clérigo. Es reconocido como uno de los más grandes compositores barrocos, y su influencia durante su vida se extendió por toda Europa. Es conocido principalmente por componer muchos conciertos instrumentales, para violín y una variedad de otros instrumentos, así como obras corales sacras y más de cuarenta óperas. Su obra más conocida es una serie de conciertos para violín conocida como Las cuatro estaciones. Muchas de sus composiciones fueron escritas para el conjunto de música femenina del Ospedale della Pietà, un hogar para niños abandonados donde Vivaldi (quien había sido ordenado sacerdote católico) estuvo empleado de 1703 a 1715 y de 1723 a 1740. Vivaldi también tuvo algunos éxito con costosas representaciones de sus óperas en Venecia, Mantua y Viena. Después de conocer al emperador Carlos VI, se mudó a Viena con la esperanza de ascender. El Emperador murió poco después de su llegada, y el propio Vivaldi murió menos de un año después en la pobreza a la edad de 63 años. Retrato de Vivaldi pintado por Francois Morellon de La Cave, 1723. El hecho de que la pintura represente a Antonio Vivaldi ha sido cuestionado por algunas fuentes
