To tremble from cold in the icy snow, In the harsh breath of a horrid wind To run, stamping one’s feet every moment, Our teeth chattering in the extreme coldīefore the fire to pass peaceful, Contented days while the rain outside pours down. Finally, in the third part, one hears the crackling of the ice underfoot. The second slow movement is written in bel canto style and is even performed as a separate work. Vivaldi indicated in the author’s notes to the first part of the concerto that the musicians should imitate the chattering of teeth from the cold, the howling of the icy wind, the trampling and running as they try to keep warm. To conclude the cycle “The Seasons” with the fourth concerto “Winter”, Antonio Vivaldi shows the audience the different faces of winter: the icy cold of a snowstorm, the comfort of a burning fireplace, the danger of walking on an icy road. “The Four Seasons” composed around 1718−1720 was a revolution in baroque music: Vivaldi depicted the sounds of flowing creeks, singing birds, a shepherd and his barking dog, buzzing flies, storms, drunken dancers, hunting, landscapes, and sounds of fireplace.

The cycle, consisting of four concertos, is an example of program music: each concerto is dedicated to a season and is introduced by a sonnet that reveals the images generated by the music.
