Can we just give some props to Anna Magdalena (Bach's second wife)? I mean first of all she 13 pregnancies go full term and 12 others that resulted in miscarriages. She spent almost 15 years of her life pregnant. All the while she transcribed by hand all the individual sheets of music for every instrument on every piece he wrote. On top of that she managed the schedules, concerts and events for her kids as well as the ones she inherited from Maria Barbara. Oh and she worked as a soloist for multiple other composers. She absolutely would have a show on Bravo called Bach in Style.

Over the years, he wrote several pieces / arrangements for their videos, the most recent being "C.B.F.", "Cabbage" and, of course, the beautiful "Prelude". But he is also the mastermind behind their live concerts : the "Concerto Battle," the "Jingle Bells - Paganini 24 Mash-up", the "Totoro x Beauty and the Beast Medley", and all the music of their special show in Hong Kong in 2017, which included an entire orchestra and a choir !

[@rue2599]

1. He was born during an earthquake. 2. He was a redhead. (Europeans stigmatised red hair in his day, and in ancient times, they used to sacrifice red heads to the late gods. At school, he was a parody because of his classmates' bias towards red hair. He wore a wig the rest of his life to avoid this.) 3. He died poor, even though his compositions are making millions. 4. He had five siblings. Calls for mild poverty, obviously. (His family was middle class.) 5. He could not speak properly due to asthma, which he was born with and did not develop as a child. 6. Other composers were given credit for his work due to his unfavourable status in the society. (Did you know that he wrote about 800 works, most of which you do not know about. The four seasons are just the tip of the iceberg. Only now is his music being gradually discovered and accredited to him.) 7. A univeristy got built over his grave, and now it is lost.

[@Francophone974]

Let's not be sad, the Four Seasons are widely known and maybe they throw some shade on the rest of the RV catalogue... but that's for the best of reasons, it's a great piece of music! Of course there are hundreds of his other works that are as good - his Gloria is out of his world! And if the Four Seasons can be an entry point to Vivaldi's repertoire or even better an entry point to classical music (and I'm pretty sure that has happened), well why not ?

[@shayanmardanbeigi2697]

Vivaldi is so much more than the 4 seasons, his stabat mater is amazing, his mandolin and lute concertos are sublime, the flute concertos are full of beauty, and his operas are very underrated, he is a master of italian music and his four seasons I think are very overrated in his catalogue, even though I love the winter concerto as a whole, this is why pop culture and mainstream promotion hurts classical composers and their work

John Cage was apparently compelled to compose 4’ 33” after being in an anechoic chamber for some period of time. Although he expected the place to be entirely devoid of sound, he heard two sounds which he later learned were his nervous system and [something else, I forgot]. He realized from this that silence is never truly silent, and thus was inspired to compose 4’ 33”.

For those of you who need further explanation: 00:00 *Bach* : He had 20 children with two wives. Bach also did arrange a meeting with another prolific composer of that era, Handel. But in the end they never met. 00:46 *John Williams* : He has made many amazing and recognizable movie soundtracks for movies like Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc. His music is well known to be 'inspired' by composers like Holst, Dvorak, Korngold, and others. 1:07 *Vivaldi* : Yep we all know him for his famous set of 4 violin concertos, The Four Season. Of course he got lots of other outstanding works, but yeah just see all the talent shows that play Summer all the time :D 1:40 *Mozart* : Mozart was a prodigy. He could learn a piece for just 30 minutes by the age of 4. He was once got drunk the night before the premiere of Don Giovanni even though he hasn't finished the overture. Then, he finished it for about 3 hours at midnight while being tipsy, and finish the piece the same day at the premiere. 2:18 *Paganini* : He is very well known for his unquestionably hard 24 caprices. They are technically very hard, period. 3:59 *John Cage* : 4 minutes 33 seconds of silence is art, change my mind. 4:26 *Shostakovich* : He combined a variety of different musical techniques into his pieces influenced by composers like Stravinsky and Mahler. He was born during the Russian Revolution, that's why his music is obligated to conform the ideals of the Soviet Regime, sounding patriotic. 5:07 *TWOSETVIOLIN* : LEGEND. CHANGE MY MIND.

Its actually too bad that people recognise music and their composers based on their quality, not gender, if the female composer isn't that famous, it might be because that her work isn't as great as the big names out there, but not because of her gender. There are plenty of female composers who are great and thus noticed

1:10 The reason why the four seasons are the one Vivaldi is most known for is because most of his works were lost in a fire. It was all in a theater that got burn in Venice, the phoenix theater. It burned again in the 20th century, by the way. He might not been as prolific as some of the others, but at his time he was a great opera composer. We just don't have most of them.

[@dsm2240]

IMSLP shows 641 Vivaldi works available for download.

[@liliaesperanza4436]

El teatro del que hablas no existía en la época de Vivaldi . De hecho la única obra que existe de Vivaldi en Venecia es un aria de ópera. El resto están dispersas por toda Europa. La gran mayoría está en turin Italia. Y actualmente existen más de 600 obras disponibles de las más de 800 que tiene. Vivaldi es de hecho uno de los compositores que más obras tiene y el primer compositor en la historia en hacer más de un tipo de pieza. Pues en su catálogo hay desde conciertos para diversos instrumentos, hasta, operas, cantatas y música sacra.

[@Alkis05]

@@liliaesperanza4436 You are right that much of his works survived, but at his time, like any other italian composer, he was best known for his operas. Out of 94 he claimed to have written, only 16 complete pieces survived. La Fenice (the fenix), today's Venice main opera house was built after the fire of 1774 that burned down San Benedetto, which was the former main theater. However, as it turns out, that wasn't where Vivaldi composed his pieces. It was San Angelo. But this one also ended up out of the picture. It was sold and converted into a warehouse in 1804. Who knows if the works there were preserved? Venice was one of the main opera places and Vivaldi was one of the main opera figures in Venice for a long time. It stand to reason that losing more than 80% of that work compromised his legacy.
