Vivaldi’s birthday 🥂

 

Today, in Venice in 1678, Antonio Vivaldi was born, the "Red Priest" who revolutionized the music of his time. In his violin concertos, he introduced innovative rhythmic and structural solutions, experimenting with forms and techniques that would influence all Baroque music. 

A composer who combined virtuosity and inventiveness with formal rigor, he left a lasting mark on musical history (with all due respect to Stravinsky).
