I've been using them for several months and found them to be rock solid, but there may still be bugs. The new email client, newsreader, and calendar are all still beta releases, so there may be rough edges. It's also just plain handy if you have several email accounts you want to check using a single interface. It's an empowering tool for those who want it. Putting an email client and newsreader in the browser gives people a way to take back control of those aspects of their online experience. Vivaldi offers an alternative to those of us who don't want Google reading our email, or don't want Facebook and Twitter determining what we read next. His most famous pieces are The Four Seasons, the operas La Silvia and Griselda, as well as dozens of other numbered concertos and sonatas for strings and wind instruments.It's worth asking: Why bother with an email client in a web browser, when everyone uses web-based mail services? Because not everyone does. Nevertheless, he and his music became even more popular after his death. He eventually moved to Vienna and died with very little money in 1741 (age 63). Eventually, people tired of his music, causing him to have financial troubles. During this period (around 1717-1730) he wrote his most famous pieces, The Four Seasons concertos for violin.Īs the public’s musical tastes changed, so did Vivaldi’s fortunes. He became so popular that he was asked to become the orchestra director and composer for an Italian prince. Vivaldi knew this and started writing operas as a sort of second career.
At the time, opera was the most popular form of entertainment. Over the next 30 years, he composed many of his best-known works there. It was also at this time that he became the “master violinist” at an orphanage (he was considered a virtuoso violinist).
He was named “The Red Priest” because of his red hair. Vivaldi also studied to become a Catholic priest, a goal that he achieved by the age of 25. Because of Antonio Vivaldi’s childhood asthma, his parents felt he could not play a wind instrument. He taught Antonio violin from a young age. His father was a barber, but eventually turned to music and became a professional violinist. He is considered one of the greatest Baroque period composers.
