Was Antonio Vivaldi famous

Answer 1

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, born on 4 March 1678 in Venice, Italy, was perhaps best known as a composer of the Baroque period. He was also a priest, nicknamed Il Prete Rosso ("The Red Priest") and an accomplished violinist. Vivaldi's composing style had considerable influence on other famous composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach. Vivaldi wrote 46 operas and hundreds of concertos, as well as sinfonias, sonatas, chamber music, sacred music, and one of his best known works, The Four Seasons (Le Quattro Stagioni), in which he attempted to capture the moods of the four seasons through his music. Vivaldi died on 28 July 1741 in Vienna.

Answer 2

Although famous in his day, and "borrowed" from extensively by composers such as J.S. Bach, most of Vivaldi's music is lost. What we have of Vivaldi today was discovered in the 1920's, packed away in a trunk.

Also, he wrote and composed Spring From "Four Seasons"

Vivali was also given the nickname "Il Prete Rosso" which means "Red Priest" this was down to his red hair and his earlier position as a priest.

During his life he wrote about 500 concerti as well as some Opera and sacred pieces.
