What is a fanlisting?

The concept of fanlistings was created to join together fans of certain subjects, as a way of creating tighter fandom communities.
TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.

Antonio Vivaldi

Vivaldi was born in Venice in 1678. He was the son of a professional violinist. He was trained for priesthood, but had serious chest complains and turned towards music. Vivaldi quickly became famous for his concertos (about 550 in total) and many musicians tried to copy his work. He also composed operas, though. Most accounts tell that he was a difficult man, who spent much time promoting his music. In 1741 he died in Vienna.

Le Quattro Stagioni

The Four Seasons were composed around 1725 as part of the concerto Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione. It was written for one violin and represents seasonal activities. It's divided into several parts:

La Primavera/Spring
Concerto in E major/E-Dur
I. Allegro ~ II. Largo e pianissimo sempre ~ III. Danza pastorale. Allegro

L'Estate/Summer
Concerto in G minor/g-moll
