{"product_id":"the-four-seasons-9780486406442","title":"The Four Seasons","description":"\u003cp\u003eVivaldi's violin concertos called \"The Four Seasons\" are among the best-known and most-loved collections of string music. Their programmatic nature, based on the lines of sonnets printed along with the music, brings seasonal sights and sounds readily and delightfully to the ear: the bird calls in \"Spring,\" the swarms of wasps in \"Summer,\" the hunters' horns in \"Autumn,\" the winds and icy snow of \"Winter.\"\u003cbr\u003eDr. Eleanor Selfridge-Field, a recognized authority on music of the Italian Baroque, has researched primary sources in Italy to prepare this specially commissioned, authoritative new edition. Together with its excellent scores -- new music plates have been prepared to create an unusually pristine and elegant edition -- the volume provides a thorough introduction to Vivaldi's music and times, as well as a new English translation of the original sonnets (with a guide to their linear placement in the scores). The work appears here in full score, with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486406442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.09w x 0.26d","brand":"Antonio Vivaldi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637745119388,"sku":"9780486406442","price":6.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_52dc29f7-c7d5-47e4-aa6b-b66e49373de0.jpg?v=1603845586","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-four-seasons-9780486406442","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
