There are many outstanding figures of painting, cinema, literature and music. Great people, famous for their creations in the field of art, forever left their mark in the history of mankind. One of such unique people was Antonio Vivaldi.
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi is one of the composers, violinists, teachers and conductors of Italy. It should be mentioned that he was a Catholic priest.
Antonio Vivaldi was born in Venice, but unfortunately, no one knows the specific date of his birth. This genius had red curly hair, which is why they nicknamed him the red abbot. Vivaldi had a theological and musical education. This person was a very intelligent and comprehensively developed personality. But in life he was still more interested in music than religion. If, standing at the altar, he was visited by thoughts in the direction of music, then he immediately left the altar and went to record musical works.
The main directions of his music were such types as chamber-style performances and compositions possessing solo sounds performed by violins. Vivaldi was one of the first to introduce types of concerts for violin and orchestra. He has created about 20 such concert performances, and is also considered the only person during the development of music who created a concert for two mandolins.
Vivaldi's music belongs to the preclassical style. In his musical creations, one can feel the imprints of ancient music, which, although it did not carry notes of Italian creativity, was recognized as masterpieces throughout the cultural world.
