[Klaus]

I'm not blown away, to be honest.

[jon-nyc]

I would hope not. It's quite derivative. lol

Interesting take, though.

[Klaus]

Are you still up or already up?

Imagine composing more than 500 concerts and many other pieces that fill shelves, and everyone knows you for just one piece.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah. I think it was Schumann that said “Did Vivaldi compose 200 violin concerti? Or did he compose one violin concerto 200 times?”

[jon-nyc]

Oh, and I’m up still. Going to bed now though

[jon-nyc]

Now I’m up already. lol

[Klaus]

Not a lot of sleep. I for one feel terrible all day if I get less than 7 hours or so for multiple days.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah I’m more than fine on 5. Can get by on 4

Same has been said about Bruckner's symphonies.

Astor Piazzola has done a take on the 4 Seasons as well. It's very much Piazzola (whom I love), with only a few allusions to Vivaldi, but it's fun nevertheless. Here's the version for piano trio.

I saw Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg do this with the Madison Symphony about 12 years ago - she broke a string during her performance.
