Studying the Baroque period post is really helping me to grasp this concept.Whether you're a musician, a newbie, a composer, or a listener, welcome. New music often just built off of previous music with just different influences and restrictions. I’m defiantly more into heavier music such as punk, post-hardcore and different types of music and I love that I can hear how music throughout times that this piece has heavier elements. I found this piece fantastic and I loved how it reflected the four seasons. I’ve always had a respect for older music such as baroque and classical but I didn’t ever think that if I actually took the time to sit down and just think about it I would actually enjoy it. If you have the time (its 42 minutes) listen to 4 seasons. IN the second movement it is also a little more mysterious. People were less influenced by other people and started to play what that envisioned. it just goes to show you that in the Baroque period people were playing around with sound a lot more. Some pretty weird sounds were created here. But the third movement finishes strong and fun. In autumn things begin to die, people become less busy. In the second movement, things start to take a slower pace. These seasons are less extreme which is reflected in the music. The first movement reminds me of spring and if you take a look spring and fall are some of the most similar (temperature wise). I defiantly think the first movement was on bugs bunny at some point.

This is some of the first times in history where music would change so drastically without notice. For me I interpreted that he was trying to show us how summer could change so quickly, how it could be nice then just change without warning. Then… the music changes tempo and gets louder, then soft. This piece is composed of string instruments and a harpsichord on the background to make a lovely accompaniment. The first moment in Summer shows that rest can be powerful. I honestly wish I had the words to describe it but it word just turn out like it du du du da quickly with da du du over top, and that is not very technical or even understandable. But the third movement brings back the playfulness of spring. The second movement sounds a little more secretive. It is one of the most famous works from the baroque period. I can guarantee that everyone would recognize the first movement for sure. Starting with the Spring, you can hear just how happy and light with the violins playing.
