Work introduction
Vivaldi used numerous onomatopoeic depictions of nature in his “Four Seasons”. In doing so, he created a new concept of “program music”, which continued to have an effect into the 19th century via Haydn or Beethoven's Pastorale.
In an extended version, the composer prefaced the concertos with the four sonnets depicting the seasons and added notes indicating which lines of text belong to which sections of the music.
The present version for flute ensemble captivates with its tonal beauty and virtuosity
What is necessary to perform this work?
The double bass part is available in two versions.
The upper system is a playing recommendation for performance by a double bass flute.
It is recommended that the contrabass flute is mainly used in the non-overblown register.
The tonal combination of a bass flute with the contrabass flute produces a homogeneous bass sound.
The system below reproduces the original text of the score and serves as a guide or for reproduction by a bassoon or other bass instruments
