Violin Concerto in F minor, RV 297, L'Inverno "Winter"

from Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Live on Piano by Justin Bird

/

about

I. Allegro non molto
To shiver, frozen, amid icy snows,
at the harsh wind’s chill breath;
to run, stamping one’s feet at every moment;
with one’s teeth chattering on account of the excessive cold;

II. Largo
to pass the days of calm and contentment by the fireside
while the rain outside drenches a hundred others;

III. Allegro
to walk on the ice, and with slow steps
to move about cautiously for fear of falling;

to go fast, slip, fall to the ground;
to go on the ice again and run fast
until the ice cracks and breaks open;

to hear, as they sally forth through the iron-clad gates,
Sirocco, Boreas, and all the winds at war.
This is winter, but of a kind to bring joy.

Translation by Paul Everett
