Antonio Vivaldi, The four seasons: With the original sonnets and a recording by the Philharmonia Virtuosi, Richard Kapp, conductor, Paul Peabody, violin

Retains Vivaldi's overall intent, yet is accessible and musically satisfying to intermediate-level piano students. Fred Kern's simplified arrangement reduces the melody and accompaniment to mostly single-note lines in both hands, except for portions of "Autumn" that use some thirds and sixths.
