Each concerto is divided into three movements:
1. Fast (_Allegro_)
2. Slow (_Adagio_)
3. Fast (_Allegro_)
The concertos are in the key of G major, G minor, F major, and F minor, respectively.
_Spring_ is a lively and cheerful movement, with a fast tempo and a bright melody. The movement is characterized by its use of birdsong, which Vivaldi imitated using his violin.
_Summer_ is a more relaxed movement, with a slower tempo and a more gentle melody. The movement is characterized by its use of a drone bass, which creates a sense of heat and humidity.
_Autumn_ is a more somber movement, with a slow tempo and a melancholic melody. The movement is characterized by its use of a falling bass line, which creates a sense of sadness and decay.
_Winter_ is a fast and energetic movement, with a fast tempo and a driving melody. The movement is characterized by its use of a staccato bowing technique, which creates a sense of cold and wind.
_The Four Seasons_ is one of Vivaldi's most famous works, and it is considered to be one of the greatest pieces of Baroque music. The concertos are a testament to Vivaldi's genius as a composer, and they continue to be enjoyed by audiences all over the world.
