Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Concerto for Violin, Strings and Continuo in G Minor, RV 315 “L’estate”: I. Allegro non molto” by Antonio Vivaldi
This movement of Vivaldi’s “Concerto for Violin, Strings and Continuo in G Minor” paints a vivid musical illustration of a summer’s day. The bright and lively Allegro non molto tempo provides a sense of the warmth and energy of the season, with the violin displaying joy and freedom in its lines. Vivaldi uses various techniques to convey the beauty and power of nature, such as sudden modulations and sudden changes in dynamic to imitate sudden thunderstorms. The overall effect is one of joy – the sheer delight of life in summer.
