The Influence of Antonio Vivaldi
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, February 28, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Johann Sebastian Bach owes Antonio Vivaldi. The former was a huge admirer of the latter and taught himself much about composing in the "Italian" style by transcribing Vivaldi's concertos. Vivaldi's influence on Bach should not be underestimated. This Sunday we'll give Antonio his due by celebrating his birthday (March 4) a little bit early and featuring some of his compositions each hour including a work later transcribed by Bach.
