Vivaldi's four seasons
#1
Each concerto in Vivaldi's The Four Seasons resembles its respective season.

Since there are 12 movements total in the 4 concertos I wonder if each movement resembles a month like this:

Spring, 1st: March
Spring, 2nd: April
Spring, 3rd: May
Summer, 1st: June
Summer, 2nd: July
Summer, 3rd: August
Autumn, 1st: September
Autumn, 2nd: October
Autumn, 3rd: November
Winter, 1st: December
Winter, 2nd: January
Winter, 3rd: February

If you listen to all of these movements do you notice a movement-month correlation as well as a concerto-season correlation because I sometimes notice that like in the first concerto of Spring.

That's a extremely interesting point. It very well may be. At the end of the summer section there is a movement which is commonly called "storm" because the sound resembles a thunderstorm. Storms do often happen in august, so it would make sense Smile
