| | Antonio Vivaldi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Johann Sebastian Bach was deeply influenced by Vivaldi's concertos and arias (recalled in his Passions and cantatas). | | | Vivaldi wrote hundreds of concerti for various instruments. | | | Reasons for Vivaldi's departure from Venice are unclear, but it seems likely that he wished to meet Charles VI, who adored his compositions (Vivaldi dedicated La Cetra to Charles in 1727), and take up the position of royal composer in his Imperial Court. |

| | Vivaldi was at the forefront of this influence. | | | Vivaldi was one of the rare Italian composers interested in woodwind instruments. | | | The popularity of opera by Vivaldi's time made it one of the most prosperous forms of musical entertainment in Venice, where a composer could earn around 200 ducats per opera (as opposed to the 60 ducats Vivaldi was being paid annually at the Ospedale) The popularity of opera was not entirely because of the music. |

| | Vivaldi then spent three years uninterruptedly, from 1718 to 1720, in the service of Prince Filippo, in Mantua, with the title of "Maestro di Cappella da Camera", with the task of composing occasional works for local festivities; his main occupation was actually the composition of operas to be staged at the archducal theatre in Mantua. | | | Vivaldi continued his collaboration with “1a Pietà “, though with frequent interruptions due to his travels, until 1740. | | | About 1710 Vivaldi began his collaboration with the operatic circle, and in 1713 his first opera, Ottone in villa, was staged in Vicenza; the libretto was by Domenico Lalli who, later on, was the impresario of the Venetian theatres S. Giovanni Grisostomo and S. Samuele. |
