Recomposed. Harmony's Duel with Invention: The Four Seasons Recomposed Richter, M.

Harmony's duel with invention – this was the title of a set of twelve violin concertos published in 1725 by Antonio Vivaldi, of which four depicted the basic seasons. Endowed with compositional genius, Venetian priest surpassed his contemporaries with evocativeness, transforming sounds of nature – birdsong, barking dogs, buzzing insects – into musical notes, as well as elaborate depictions of falling snow, storms, and hunting. He exhibited remarkable imagination while remaining in harmony with Baroque aesthetics. 

The Four Seasons are among the most recognizable works of European high culture. This state intrigued many contemporary artists. Max Richter recomposed the work in the spirit of post-minimalism. How much invention and harmony with contemporary tastes are there in this arrangement? One must judge for themselves, as his work has gained widespread resonance in modern culture
