I. Allegro non molto. We shiver in the snow and are pierced by the cruel winds.
We run and stamp our feet at every step.
Our teeth chatter with the cold.
II. Largo. We pass the day contented by the fireside; outside it is raining very hard.
III. Allegro. We carefully walk on the ice. We are afraid we may fall.
We Slip and fall. We get up and bravely try again.
The ice is breaking, the cracks are wide.
The shrieking winds are at war.
Such is winter, but it has its joys.

Vivaldi's "Winter" from The Four Seasons is essential for its vivid musical depiction of the season. The opening movement portrays a shivering person with stamping feet and chattering teeth, effectively capturing the essence of winter. This solo violin and string orchestra work follows a brief text, likely by Vivaldi himself, describing ice, snow, and wind, showcasing Vivaldi's mastery of programmatic music. The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos, with each concerto giving musical expression to a season of the year. Vivaldi's radical approach to depicting the seasons through music has contributed to the enduring popularity and significance of The Four Seasons.
