Antonio Vivaldi and the Baroque Tradition

(4) YA Classical Composers series. Early education, family life, and musical styles are covered in these biographical surveys; Vivaldi contains more musical analysis, particularly of The Four Seasons. Both books suffer from awkward prose (not to mention too many parenthetical comments) and a lack of contextual information about the Baroque period, but together text and color images make for adequate biographies. Review covers these Classical Composers titles: Antonio Vivaldi and the Baroque Tradition and Johann Sebastian Bach and the Art of Baroque Music.
