Aside from Bach, the composer I’ve listened to most should be Mozart; but when it comes to pieces I never tire of hearing, first is “that” canon; second is Bach’s six Brandenburg Concertos; third, probably, is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Besides The Four Seasons, many of Vivaldi’s other pieces are also excellent; lately they have nearly pushed Mozart out of my MP3 player.
Though I’m tone-deaf when it comes to music, I can still sense how close Vivaldi is to Bach, so much so that I can be certain they were contemporaries without even checking the references. Baroque really is not bad.
I’ve chosen Winter to post. Although the Spring Festival has already passed, my state of mind is still stuck in winter… alas… awaken, Demon King! Burn, little universe!…
