One of the earliest examples of tone painting, Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" is a staple of the orchestral repertoire. This energetic movement from Autumn depicts a hunt on a crisp fall morning and is full of terraced dynamics, hooked bowings, and dotted rhythms. The original violin solo has been simplified and distributed to two solo violins with solo cello accompaniment. Full and mature-sounding, yet very playable by less-experienced students.
