The Four Seasons: Spring − Summer − Autumn − Winter is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published as part of his Opus 8 in 1725. The work exemplifies Vivaldi's Baroque violin concerto writing, featuring vivid programme-driven motifs, energetic rhythmic drive and the ritornello form, and it occupies a central place in the development of programme music and in Vivaldi's compositional output.
