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.

Antonio Vivaldi, Italian Composer
Légende:
Traduction automatique: Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (4 mars 1678 - 28 juillet 1741) était un compositeur baroque italien, violoniste virtuose, professeur et clerc. Il est reconnu comme l'un des plus grands compositeurs baroques et son influence de son vivant s'est répandue dans toute l'Europe. Il est surtout connu pour avoir composé de nombreux concertos instrumentaux, pour violon et divers autres instruments, ainsi que des ?uvres chorales sacrées et plus de quarante opéras. Son ?uvre la plus connue est une série de concertos pour violon connue sous le nom de The Four Seasons. Beaucoup de ses compositions ont été écrites pour l'ensemble de musique féminin de l'Ospedale della Pietà, une maison pour enfants abandonnés où Vivaldi (qui avait été ordonné prêtre catholique) a été employé de 1703 à 1715 et de 1723 à 1740. Vivaldi avait aussi quelques succès avec des mises en scène coûteuses de ses opéras à Venise, Mantoue et Vienne. Après avoir rencontré l'empereur Charles VI, il s'installe à Vienne, dans l'espoir d'une promotion. L'Empereur mourut peu après son arrivée, et Vivaldi lui-même mourut moins d'un an plus tard dans la pauvreté à l'âge de 63 ans. Portrait de Vivaldi peint par François Morellon de La Cave, 1723. Le fait que le tableau représente réellement Antonio Vivaldi a été remis en question par certaines sources.
