The Four Seasons - Antonio Vivaldi

Standard: Advanced           Harp Type: Pedal Harp

"In combining the solo violin and orchestral parts to make this arrangement, I aimed to stay as close to Vivaldi’s material as possible whilst creating a piece that feels comfortable and joyful for the harpist to play.

There are some places in which it was necessary to change the order of the notes from the solo part to fit under the hand and in some of the slow movements, notes are added to help extend the sustained solo line. My ornamentation choices are included in this arrangement, but I invite performers to use these as a guide and starting point for your own creativity.

La Primavera (Spring) has been transposed from the original key of E major to Eflat major to allow the use of enharmonics."
