Antonio Vivaldi
Vivaldi's most famous works are unquestionably the four violin concerti collectively known as I Quattro Staggione, or The Four Seasons, and a concerto in D for mandolin, also known in a transcription for guitar. His best-known choral work is the Gloria in D major.
Vivaldi wrote literally hundreds of concerti (the Italian plural of concerto). He wrote concerti for solo violin (including the Four Seasons), for cello, for mandolin, for flute, for piccolo, and a number of concerti for combinations of solo instruments.
Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major (Op. 35) is one of his most famous works and arguably one of the most famous violin concertos of all time. It is considered among the most technically difficult of the great violin concertos. It was first played in 1881 in Vienna by Adolph Brodsky (with Hans Richter conducting). Critical reception at the time was mixed, but today it is a cornerstone piece of the violin repertoire.
Antonio Vivaldi is most famous for being an excellent Baroque era music composer. He was also a virtuoso violinist and Catholic priest. He has composed numerous concertos featuring the violin (The Four Seasons being the most famous), operas and sacred music.
There are many violin concertos in the key of e-minor, but the most famous by far was written by Felix Mendelssohn. His e-minor concerto is one of the standards of the violin repertoire.
Vivaldi's most famous work is probably "The Four Seasons".
The piano and the violin were the most popular solo instruments used in the concerto of classical period. The violin was one of the most popular for the baroque period, and the increase in popularity of the piano caused that this instrument replaced the former.

The symphony as we know it was not yet invented in Vivaldi's time. His name was made almost exclusively on the hundreds of concertos he wrote for various solo instruments, notably the violin, and different combinations of solo instruments. His most famous work, The Four Seasons, is a set of four violin concerti based on four poems depicting the seasons. He also wrote sacred solo vocal and choral music, the most famous of which is his Gloria.
