Description
Antonio Vivaldi's story is one of creative determination. As he narrates his own life, the composer recounts how his passion for music led him to create masterpieces like "The Four Seasons". Despite facing opposition from those who wanted him to follow a different path, Vivaldi remained resolute in pursuing his musical dreams. Beautifully illustrated by Tom Shefelman, this picture book brings the spirit of 17th-century Venice to life. A historical note, musical score, and glossary are included to provide context for readers interested in learning more about Vivaldi's Baroque era and his enduring legacy. This inspiring story is a great introduction to the life and work of one of music's most beloved composers.
