An exquisitely illustrated picture book inspired by the creative, determined life of Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi.
In this picture book inspired by the life of Antonio Vivaldi, the composer himself narrates how a creative, resolute boy grew up to create masterpieces like "The Four Seasons."
Despite his mother's vow for him to become a priest, young Vivaldi is only interested in music. He soon grows from a feisty, violin-obsessed boy into a stubborn young man who puts his musical training ahead of his studies for priesthood.
Beautiful, ornate artwork from illustrator Tom Shefelman portrays the spirit and splendor of Vivaldi's hometown of Venice. A historical note, musical score, and glossary will help readers more fully appreciate the composer's Baroque context and his enduring genius.
