Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along is an effective and time-tested method of practicing that offers more than conventional play-along editions. Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along enables you to learn a work systematically and with accompaniment at different tempi. The first thing you hear on the CD is the concert version in a first-class recording with solo instrument and orchestral, continuo, or piano accompaniment. Then the piano or harpsichord accompaniment follows in slow and medium tempo for practice purposes with the solo instrument heard softly in the background at a slow tempo. Finally, you can play at the original tempo to the accompaniment of an orchestra, piano, or basso continuo. All versions appearing on the CD were recorded live by renowned soloists, accompanists, and orchestras. There are no synthesised sounds in a Dowani edition!

Antonio Vivaldi
2,222 books12 followersPeople best know Italian composer Antonio Lucio Vivaldi particularly for
The Four Seasons
(1725), a set of violin concertos.
People recognized the greatness of Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, a Baroque red-haired priest and virtuoso, whose influence spread widely over Europe during his lifetime.
Vivaldi began studying for the priesthood at the age of 15 years in 1693, and the bishop ordained him ordained at 25 years of age in 1703 but due to a health problem gave him dispensation to no longer say public Mass.
This Venetian virtuoso and impresario wrote Baroque music. People regard Vivaldi alongside Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel of the greatest Baroque, and his widespread influence during his lifetime across Europe gave origin to many imitators and admirers. He pioneered many developments in orchestration, technique, and programmatic music. He consolidated the emerging form into a widely accepted and paramount followed idiom in the development of instrumental music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Antonio Vivaldi wrote much for the all-female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children and his employer from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. Vivaldi also succeeded some with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua, and Vienna. Vivaldi mainly developed and wrote a variety of especially sacred choral or instrumental music and more than forty of fifty operas. He worked a series.
After meeting Charles VI Habsburg, the emperor, Vivaldi moved to Vienna and expected preferment and royal support. After arrival of Antonio Vivaldi, however, the emperor quickly died. Impoverished Vivaldi died within less than a year.
People received music of Vivaldi during his lifetime, but his musical reputation later declined in popularity for more than two centuries until it underwent a vigorous revival in the first half of the 20th century. Today, Vivaldi ranks among the most popular and widely recorded of Baroque. Scholars devoted much research to his work.
People once lost many works of Vivaldi but rediscovered them in one case as recently as 2006. People regularly and widely play his music in the present day over the world.
