Paganini or Vivaldi?

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm feeling quite musical today! Lets dip into some classical guys!

Paganini

Vivaldi

[zeitgeist057]

Vivaldi was my number one listened to artist on Spotify Wrapped report for 2023 <3

I didn't even realized I listened to him that much, but he is definitely one of my go -to composers.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Paganini hands down to me at least as a violinist, but in my opinion the more interesting composer as well. I never understood why Vivaldi hogs up all the attention in music courses.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

At least in my music courses in high school, Paganini was treated like a footnote. Vivaldi got massive sections of the textbook and lectures devoted to him.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I have a soft spot though for virtuosos over group performances. I always found it more interesting when there's a prominent foreground.

They said Paganini made a deal with the devil to be the greatest violinist of all time

[Jennz6]

I don’t know either so I picked the first one

[StudyingAuthor]

It's classical.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Never heard of either of them, what are their music styles like? I'm very picky with classical era music. A lot of it I don't like because it lacks rhythm and is kind of all over the place. I prefer the ones that would sound good as epic action movie trailer music if reorchestrated.

I don't know enough of Paganini. Vivaldi is OK.
Can you share some YouTube videos of their most famous or "best" works?

[StudyingAuthor]

Yeah, ofc.

I listen to Vivaldi the most tbh. Especially newer recomposed versions of his music. Here's an example:

Clueless. I am a Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven guy.

Damn, you're missing out.

Here's winter, I think it's his best composition.

[LiamJHayden]

Paganini if I am playing guitar because I find him more challenging. For listening The Four Seasons might be my favorite ever, so Vivaldi.

[Miah04]

Tbh. I'm not much on either so can't give a informed answer

[OtterMan68]

Vivialdi is very relaxing to play in the background. Great for math homework

[Wiredone]

I have never heard of either one of them so I can't choose

[exitseven]

I know a little about Vivaldi so I go with him.
