Embarking on the journey to learn the piano or keyboard can be exhilarating, especially when you start with pieces that resonate with history and emotion. One such piece that stands out in our piano book for beginners is “Winter” from “The Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi. Composed in the early 18th century, specifically in 1723, this piece is a part of a group of four violin concerti, each giving a musical expression to a season of the year. Vivaldi’s “Winter” is renowned for its swirling tempests and the delicate pizzicato notes that mimic icy rain, making it an exhilarating piece for beginners to learn through our easy piano songbook.
Vivaldi, an Italian Baroque composer, violinist, and priest, was known for his technical prowess and the expressive qualities of his work. “Winter,” with its vivid depiction of the coldest season, is a perfect example of Vivaldi’s ability to paint scenes through music.

This song, through its dynamic range and emotive power, offers beginners an engaging piece to learn using letter notes, making it accessible without prior knowledge of traditional music notation. Our piano songbook with letters provides an innovative way to tackle this complex piece, using keyboard stickers and letter notation to guide the player through each note. Whether you are a child just starting your musical journey or an adult seeking to explore the joys of music, “Winter” from Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” is a captivating piece that highlights the beauty and depth of classical music, making it a must-learn for anyone using our piano learning book for adults and kids alike.
