![]() ![]() Who do you think the solo violin might be? Imagine the people stamping and linking hands. Vivaldi: Concerto in F major, ‘L’autunno’ (Autumn) – A reflective section introduced by a cello, as if someone new has just walked onto the scene. – Insects – played using a technique called sul ponticello where the musicians place their bow very close to the wooden bridge of their instruments to create more of a rasping sound. Piazzolla: ‘Otoño porteño’ (Autumn in Buenos Aires) – Thunder rumbling in the background – and then a dramatic summer storm. Perhaps it’s feeling a bit lazy in the heat? – The solo violin taking lots of time singing away. Vivaldi: Concerto in G minor, ‘L’estate’ (Summer) – An echo of Vivaldi’s Winter (when it’s summer in Buenos Aires, it’s winter in Italy!) – Sliding movements in the violin, called glissandos, playing over the ‘chugging’ rhythms which set the tango pulse. Piazzolla: ‘Verano porteño’ (Summer in Buenos Aires) – A barking dog in the viola during the slow section. – Twittering birds in the trilling violins. Vivaldi: Concerto in E major, ‘La primavera’ (Spring)
