Hi @soundreasoning, thank you for your informative commentary on Vivaldi's work. It was especially interesting to read about how radical it would have been for Vivaldi to have the concertos abstractly representing seasons of the year, instead of pursuing a practical function. The performance by Julia Fischer in the embedded youtube was also very enjoyable.
I enjoyed your descriptions of the pieces, plus as a lover of really old music, myself, I think people need to listen to more of it. For some reason, "classical" music has a stigma as being elitist and stuffy, but it was the popular music of the day a lot of the time, and very passionate and authentic.
Summer is so inspirational. I'm a metal guy that writes a lot of power metal, so this always gets the creative juices flowing. Would love to see you connect some of this stuff to people like Yngwie Malmsteem, or Syu from Galneryus. That would be a really fun read from you. Keep it up. This is one of my favorite series on steemit.
that's interesting, thanks
