95-433: Piano Classics is an imprint of Brilliant Classics, focusing on piano solo repertoire. Since its inception, Brilliant Classics has sought to bring art music to the widest possible public by releasing all its recordings at budget and super-budget price. The distribution strategy of selling through supermarkets and drugstores (see History below) introduced classical music to a mass market when most other labels were selling to

190-532: A pamphlet denouncing Vivaldi and his operas. The pamphlet, Il teatro alla moda , attacks the composer even though it does not mention him directly. The cover drawing shows a boat (the San Angelo), on the left end of which stands a little angel wearing a priest's hat and playing the violin. The Marcello family claimed ownership of the Teatro San Angelo, and a long legal battle had been fought with

285-827: A baroque church in an area that is now part of the site of the TU Wien university. The cemetery existed until 1807. The house where he lived in Vienna has since been destroyed; the Hotel Sacher is built on part of the site. Memorial plaques have been placed at both locations, as well as a Vivaldi "star" in the Viennese Musikmeile and a monument at the Rooseveltplatz. Only two, possibly three, original portraits of Vivaldi are known to survive: an engraving, an ink sketch and an oil painting. The engraving, which

380-542: A bridge to the scholarly catalog dominant today. Compositions by Vivaldi are identified today by RV number , the number assigned by Danish musicologist Peter Ryom in works published mostly in the 1970s, such as the "Ryom-Verzeichnis" or "Répertoire des oeuvres d'Antonio Vivaldi". Like the Complete Edition before it, the RV does not typically assign its single, consecutive numbers to "adjacent" works that occupy one of

475-755: A catalog created in the 20th century by the musicologist Peter Ryom . Le quattro stagioni (The Four Seasons) of 1723 is his most famous work. The first four of the 12 concertos, titled Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione ("The Contest between Harmony and Invention"), they depict moods and scenes from each of the four seasons. This work has been described as an outstanding example of pre-19th-century program music . Vivaldi's other notable sets of 12 violin concertos include La stravaganza  (The Eccentricity), L'estro armonico  (The Harmonic Inspiration) and La cetra  (The Lyre). Vivaldi wrote more than 500 concertos. About 350 of these are for solo instrument and strings, of which 230 are for violin;

570-462: A community drugstore where another customer might overhear about the drugs that they take. Internet pharmacies (also known as online pharmacies) are also recommended to some patients by their physicians if they are home-bound. While most Internet pharmacies sell prescription drugs and require a valid prescription, some Internet pharmacies sell prescription drugs without requiring a prescription. Some customers order drugs from such pharmacies to avoid

665-453: A composer, he was regarded as an exceptional technical violinist as well. The German architect Johann Friedrich Armand von Uffenbach referred to Vivaldi as "the famous composer and violinist" and noted in his diary that "Vivaldi played a solo accompaniment excellently, and at the conclusion he added a free fantasy [an improvised cadenza] which absolutely astounded me, for it is hardly possible that anyone has ever played, or ever will play, in such

760-485: A different work already given the previous year. In 1715, he presented Nerone fatto Cesare (RV 724, now lost), with music by seven different composers, of which he was the leader. The opera contained eleven arias and was a success. In the late season, Vivaldi planned to put on an opera entirely of his own creation, Arsilda, regina di Ponto (RV 700), but the state censor blocked the performance. The main character, Arsilda, falls in love with another woman, Lisea, who

855-638: A fashion." In September 1703, Vivaldi (24) became maestro di violino (master of violin) at an orphanage called the Pio Ospedale della Pietà (Devout Hospital of Mercy) in Venice; although his talents as a violinist probably secured him the job, he soon became a successful teacher of music there. Over the next thirty years he composed most of his major works while working at the Ospedale. There were four similar institutions in Venice; their purpose

950-579: A major composer. Scholarly work intended to increase the accuracy and variety of Vivaldi performances also supported new discoveries that made old catalogs incomplete. Works still in circulation today might be numbered under several different systems (some earlier catalogs are mentioned here ). Because the simply consecutive Complete Edition (CE) numbers did not reflect the individual works (Opus numbers) into which compositions were grouped, numbers assigned by Antonio Fanna were often used in conjunction with CE numbers. Combined Complete Edition (CE)/Fanna numbering

1045-623: A much lesser-known, slightly more detailed copy recently discovered in Moscow. The oil painting, which can be seen in the International Museum and Library of Music of Bologna , is by an anonymous artist and is thought to depict Vivaldi due to its strong resemblance to the La Cave engraving. During his lifetime, Vivaldi was popular in many countries throughout Europe, including France, but after his death his popularity dwindled. After

1140-523: A pharmacy can assist a patient with prescription reminders and alerts about potential negative drug interactions, thereby reducing medical errors . The International Pharmaceutical Federation has declared their vision of a community-based pharmacist: Community-based pharmacists' responsibilities include: checking and dispensing of prescription drugs , providing advice on drug selection and usage to doctors and other health professionals and counseling patients in health promotion, disease prevention and

1235-433: A premises for prescription drugs is subject to legislation; with requirements for storage conditions, staff qualifications, equipment, record keeping (especially of controlled drugs ) and other matters, all specified in legislation. It was once the case that pharmacists stayed within the premises compounding/dispensing medications, but there has been an increasing trend towards the use of trained pharmacy technicians , with

1330-464: A production running for an extended period of time in any major opera house. In 1717 or 1718, Vivaldi was offered a prestigious new position as Maestro di Cappella of the court of Prince Philip of Hesse-Darmstadt , governor of Mantua , in the northwest of Italy He moved there for three years and produced several operas, among them Tito Manlio (RV 738). In 1721, he was in Milan, where he presented

1425-572: A renewed interest in Vivaldi by, among others, Mario Rinaldi, Alfredo Casella , Ezra Pound , Olga Rudge , Desmond Chute , Arturo Toscanini , Arnold Schering and Louis Kaufman , all of whom were instrumental in the revival of Vivaldi throughout the 20th century. In 1926, in a monastery in Piedmont , researchers discovered fourteen bound volumes of Vivaldi's work (later discovered to be fifteen) that were previously thought to have been lost during

1520-590: A sideline: his first opera, Ottone in villa (RV 729) was performed not in Venice, but at the Garzerie Theater in Vicenza in 1713. The following year, Vivaldi became the impresario of the Teatro San Angelo in Venice, where his opera Orlando finto pazzo (RV 727) was performed. The work was not to the public's taste, and it closed after a couple of weeks, being replaced with a repeat of

1615-422: A specialised audience. One of its best-known sets is the complete works of J.S. Bach on 155 CDs: this has sold more than 500,000 units. Though CD is still the primary medium for Brilliant Classics, all its new releases are available as downloads, and many are available on streaming services. The mission of Piano Classics is "to present a platform for often young, incredibly gifted pianists presenting themselves to

1710-436: A steady source of income. Soon afterwards, Vivaldi became impoverished and, during the night of 27/28 July 1741, aged 63, he died of "internal infection ", in a house owned by the widow of a Viennese saddlemaker. On 28 July, Vivaldi's funeral took place at St. Stephen's Cathedral . Contrary to popular legend, the young Joseph Haydn who was in the cathedral choir at the time had nothing to do with his burial, since no music

1805-445: A year as a freelance musician, he was recalled by the Ospedale with a unanimous vote; clearly during his year's absence the board had realized the importance of his role. He became responsible for all of the musical activity of the institution when he was promoted to maestro de' concerti (music director) in 1716 and responsible for composing two new concertos every month. In 1705, the first collection ( Connor Cassara ) of his works

1900-623: Is a premises which provides pharmaceutical drugs , among other products. At the pharmacy, a pharmacist oversees the fulfillment of medical prescriptions and is available to counsel patients about prescription and over-the-counter drugs or about health problems and wellness issues. A typical pharmacy would be in the commercial area of a community. Most drugs are commercially made at factories and dispensed by pharmacies. Drugs that are not commercially made must be compounded from other ingredients. In 1930, 75% of medications were compounded, but by 1970 only 1% were compounded. In most countries,

1995-592: Is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons . Many of his compositions were written for the all-female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà , a home for abandoned children. Vivaldi began studying for the priesthood at the age of 15 and was ordained at 25, but was given dispensation to no longer say public Masses due to a health problem. Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice , Mantua and Vienna . After meeting

2090-465: Is also heavily involved in monitoring internet pharmacies and has issued warnings against several companies who have violated the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that protects individuals against rogue online pharmacies. Canada is home to dozens of licensed Internet pharmacies, many of which sell their lower-cost prescription drugs to U.S. consumers (who must otherwise pay one of the world's highest drug prices). In recent years, many consumers in

2185-701: Is associated with a sonnet , possibly by Vivaldi, describing the scenes depicted in the music. They were published as the first four concertos in a collection of twelve, Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione , Opus 8, published in Amsterdam by Michel-Charles Le Cène in 1725. During his time in Mantua, Vivaldi became acquainted with an aspiring young singer Anna Tessieri Girò , who would become his student, protégée, and favorite prima donna . Anna, along with her older half-sister Paolina, moved in with Vivaldi and regularly accompanied him on his many travels. There

2280-404: Is generally targeted at international drug suppliers, rather than consumers. There is no known case of any U.S. citizens buying Canadian drugs for personal use with a prescription, who has ever been charged by authorities. According to IQVIA, Vietnam had 55,300 drugstores in 2016, of which 185 belonged to modern drugstore chains. In 2021, the total number of drugstores decreased to 44,600, but

2375-506: Is not the case in all jurisdictions: where permitted, many retailers (including supermarkets and mass merchandisers ) now include a pharmacy as a department of their store. Community pharmacies offer a unique added value by building direct relationships with their customers. They are able to provide more personalized, dedicated care to local members of their community and even offer enhanced services such as Medication Therapy Management (MTM), Medication Synchronization, and compounding. With

2470-545: Is now distributed across Europe and in North America, Australia and Far East. Since 2000, Brilliant Classics has issued more than a hundred releases per year, including on average more than six new recordings each month. The repertoire for new recordings is chosen on the basis of interest for the classical collector, interested in newly available or otherwise unavailable music in genres such as Renaissance and Baroque vocal music, Classical-era chamber music, composers from

2565-471: Is plausible that, in his dual role of composer and impresario , he might have either written or been responsible for the production of as many as 94 operas—given that his career had by then spanned almost 25 years. Although Vivaldi certainly composed many operas in his time, he never attained the prominence of other great composers such as Alessandro Scarlatti , Johann Adolph Hasse , Leonardo Leo , and Baldassare Galuppi , as evidenced by his inability to keep

2660-560: Is pretending to be a man. Vivaldi got the censor to accept the opera the following year, and it was a resounding success. During this period, the Pietà commissioned several liturgical works. The most important were two oratorios . Moyses Deus Pharaonis , (RV 643) is now lost. The second, Juditha triumphans (RV 644), celebrates the victory of the Republic of Venice against the Turks and

2755-580: Is required to own the pharmacy of which she or he is the licensee. Under this arrangement, a pharmacist can be the operator of only a single outlet. In the UK, 60% of all community pharmacies are owned by companies that own multiple pharmacies. In the United States, more than 25% of independent owners have ownership in two or more pharmacies. Most of Australia's and New Zealand's community pharmacies are owner-operated. In Australia, pharmacists recognise

2850-484: Is the ease with which people, youth in particular, can obtain controlled substances (e.g., Vicodin , generically known as hydrocodone ) via the Internet without a prescription issued by a doctor/practitioner who has an established doctor-patient relationship. There are instances where a practitioner issues a prescription, brokered by an Internet server, for a controlled substance to a "patient" s/he has never met. In

2945-621: The Emperor Charles VI , Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for royal support. However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died in poverty less than a year later. After almost two centuries of decline, Vivaldi's musical reputation underwent a revival in the early 20th century, with much scholarly research devoted to his work. Many of Vivaldi's compositions, once thought lost, have been rediscovered – some as recently as 2015. His music remains widely popular in

3040-577: The Napoleonic Wars . Some missing tomes in the numbered set were discovered in the collections of the descendants of the Grand Duke Durazzo, who had acquired the monastery complex in the 18th century. The volumes contained 300 concertos, 19 operas and over 100 vocal-instrumental works. The resurrection of Vivaldi's unpublished works in the 20th century greatly benefited from the noted efforts of Alfredo Casella , who in 1939 organized

3135-488: The Stabat Mater ( RV 621 ) was played as part of a religious festival. The work seems to have been written in haste: the string parts are simple, the music of the first three movements is repeated in the next three, and not all the text is set. Nevertheless, perhaps in part because of the forced essentiality of the music, the work is considered to be one of his early masterpieces. Despite his frequent travels from 1718,

3230-485: The "inconvenience" of visiting a doctor, or to obtain medications which their doctors were unwilling to prescribe. However, this practice has been criticized as potentially dangerous, especially by those who feel that only doctors can reliably assess contraindications, risk/benefit ratios, and an individual's overall suitability for use of medication. There also have been reports of such pharmacies dispensing substandard products. Of particular concern with Internet pharmacies

In September 2010 the label was sold to a Dutch investment company, Triacta B.V., who performed a 'corporate carve-out' before selling the company on to Edel AG , a German entertainment group with a long presence in the core classical market through its ownership of Berlin Classics. Berlin Classics continues as a division of Edel as well as licensing content to Brilliant Classics. The label

"The spirit of the task," remarked Gramophone magazine, "is clearly designed to provide a large audience with the opportunity to experience all these masterworks on period instruments, at an affordable price. A ridiculous price actually... In sum, these readings deserve to be recognised, primarily for their attractive and well-measured strides, but also for a lack of dogma or self-importance." The initial editions of 5CD boxes sold over 100,000 copies of each volume within

3515-690: The Netherlands alone. Though Brilliant Classics is primarily a repertoire-led label, it has nurtured the careers of several artists whose albums have become best-sellers for the label, and who have found international prominence through their recordings. The Hungarian pianist Klára Würtz  [ hu ; nl ; fr ; de ] has recorded the complete sonatas of Mozart, several albums of Schumann , chamber music by Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms and concertos by Mozart, Ravel , Rachmaninov and Bartók , among others. The Dutch pianist Bart van Oort has recorded Classical and early Romantic music for

3610-467: The Ospedale paid him 2 sequins to write two concerti a month for the orchestra and to rehearse with them at least five times when in Venice. The orphanage's records show that he was paid for 140 concerti between 1723 and 1733. In early 18th-century Venice, opera was the most popular musical entertainment. It proved most profitable for Vivaldi. There were several theaters competing for the public's attention. Vivaldi started his career as an opera composer as

3705-656: The Style of Vivaldi (which he passed off as an original Vivaldi work) helped revive Vivaldi's reputation. Kreisler's concerto in C spurred the French scholar Marc Pincherle to begin an academic study of Vivaldi's oeuvre. Many Vivaldi manuscripts were rediscovered, and were acquired by the Turin National University Library as a result of the generous sponsorship of Turinese businessmen Roberto Foa and Filippo Giordano, in memory of their sons. This led to

3800-670: The US (and in other countries with high drug costs), have turned to licensed Internet pharmacies in India, Israel, and the UK, which often have even lower prices than in Canada. In the United States , there has been a push to legalize the importation of medications from Canada and other countries, in order to reduce consumer costs. While in most cases importation of prescription medications violates FDA regulations and federal laws, enforcement

3895-454: The United States, in order for a prescription for a controlled substance to be valid, it must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by a licensed practitioner acting in the course of legitimate doctor-patient relationship. The filling pharmacy has a corresponding responsibility to ensure that the prescription is valid. Often, individual state laws outline what defines a valid patient-doctor relationship.

3990-406: The age of thirteen, Vivaldi wrote an early liturgical work – Laetatus sum ( RV Anh 31). In 1693, at the age of fifteen, he began studying to become a priest . He was ordained in 1703, aged 25, and was soon nicknamed il Prete Rosso , "The Red Priest"; Rosso is Italian for "red" and would have referred to the color of his hair, a family trait. Although Vivaldi is most famous as

4085-733: The aid of pharmacy management systems and different integrated technologies, these smaller pharmacies are able to keep up with their large-scale competition. Community pharmacists’ understanding of ethics, confidentiality , patient autonomy , trustworthiness and reliability are essential in community practice and must influence their decision making should an ethical dilemma arise. In some countries, community pharmacists may be asked to compromise on their values and ethical issues may arise not only because of patient's or physician's request but may also because of their employers' intrusion. Individual factors such as age, gender, work experience, and educational level and organizational factors such as

4180-402: The average pharmacy carried out around 19 consultations per day, averaging 5.6 minutes each - about 65 million consultations across 10,800 pharmacies in the year. To help pharmacists be able to take on extended roles, it is common for them to work as part of a team that can include pharmacy technicians, dispensing assistants and counter assistants. In parts of mainland Europe, the pharmacist

4275-605: The ballets found within those works. At the height of his career, he received commissions from European nobility and royalty, some of which were: Like many composers of the time, Vivaldi faced financial difficulties in his later years. His compositions were no longer held in such high esteem as they had once been in Venice; changing musical tastes quickly made them outmoded. In response, Vivaldi chose to sell off sizeable numbers of his manuscripts at paltry prices to finance his migration to Vienna . The reasons for Vivaldi's departure from Venice are unclear, but it seems likely that, after

4370-487: The complete sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti (according to Classics Today, "Belder's Scarlatti survey offers hours upon hours of listening pleasure, and unquestionably constitutes a major achievement.") and music by Rameau , J.S. and C.P.E. Bach, as well as embarking on the first-ever complete recordings of both the sonatas by Antonio Soler and the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book . Other musicians working on

4465-532: The composer's single opus numbers. Its goal as a modern catalog is to index the manuscripts and sources that establish the existence and nature of all known works. The German scholar Walter Kolneder has discerned the influence of Legrenzi's style in Vivaldi's early liturgical work Laetatus sum ( RV Anh 31), written in 1691 at the age of thirteen. Vivaldi was also influenced by the Composer Arcangelo Corelli . Johann Sebastian Bach

4560-568: The digital hospital-to-pharmacy referral service, which was to launch in July 2020, as part of the new community pharmacy contract, was postponed to 15 February 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic in England . It will enable hospitals to digitally notify community pharmacies when patients are discharged and may need advice on taking new medicines, and about changes to their prescriptions. In 2022

4655-562: The end of the Baroque period, Vivaldi's published concerti became relatively unknown, and were largely ignored. Even his most famous work, The Four Seasons , was unknown in its original edition during the Classical and Romantic periods. Vivaldi's work was rediscovered in the 20th century. A composition by Vivaldi is identified by RV number , which refers to its place in the "Ryom-Verzeichnis" or "Répertoire des oeuvres d'Antonio Vivaldi",

4750-622: The evenings and weekends and they are accessible without appointment. In the English NHS there were 438 million visits nationally to community pharmacies for health related reasons in 2015. More than 1.1 billion prescription items were dispensed in 2022. More than £10 billion is spent on prescribed drugs annually. Under the 2005 NHS Community Pharmacy contract all community pharmacists in England and Wales provide: Widely available Advanced Services: Enhanced Services which are not available unless locally commissioned: The introduction of

4845-1180: The extant music by "one of the greatest composers of the first half of the 17th century". Young artists on the label include the Dutch recorder virtuoso Erik Bosgraaf , who has made recordings of music from Vivaldi to Boulez ; the Spanish lutenist Miguel Yisrael  [ fr ] ; the Italian organist Stefano Molardi , who has recorded the complete organ works of J.S. Bach; and the Hungarian violinist Kristóf Baráti , who has recorded solo and chamber repertoire from Bach to Brahms and Bartók. The Italian pianist Vanessa Benelli Mosell made her first two recordings for Brilliant Classics (including "impressively refined and nuanced" Liszt: Gramophone ).

He taught Antonio to play the violin and then toured Venice, playing the violin with his young son. Antonio was probably taught at an early age, judging by the extensive musical knowledge he had acquired by the age of 24, when he started working at the Ospedale della Pietà . The president of the sovvegno

Bach, Telemann and Galuppi as well as leading the Frescobaldi Edition, which gathers on 17CD all

5130-542: The historic Vivaldi Week, in which the rediscovered Gloria (RV 589) and l'Olimpiade were revived. Since World War II , Vivaldi's compositions have enjoyed wide success. Historically informed performances , often on "original instruments", have increased Vivaldi's fame still further. Recent rediscoveries of works by Vivaldi include two psalm settings: Psalm 127 , Nisi Dominus RV 803 (in eight movements); and Psalm 110 , Dixit Dominus RV 807 (in eleven movements). These were identified in 2003 and 2005, respectively, by

From 2009 onwards, the Dutch pianist Jeroen van Veen has recorded several albums and collections of minimal piano music by composers including Philip Glass , Ludovico Einaudi and Simeon ten Holt . These albums have met with both commercial and critical success: Gramophone magazine described his Pärt album as "absolutely brilliant". Among

In a letter written by Vivaldi to his patron Marchese Bentivoglio, in 1737, he makes reference to his "94 operas". Only about 50 operas by Vivaldi have been discovered, and no other documentation of the remaining operas exists. Although Vivaldi could have been exaggerating, it

In a survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults older than 40 years-old conducted by Propeller Insights, 67% of patients responded that they would prefer that their pharmacist discuss new prescriptions with them, rather than their physician , because they viewed their pharmacist as "better at explaining side effects and has more time to spend with them." Since about

According to Classics Today, "Barshai's intelligent, humane, passionate, and deeply felt readings undeniably realize the composer's intentions and certainly will stand

A survey conducted by PrescribeWellness found that almost half of Americans older than 40 years-old value pharmacies that offer preventative care services, and would be willing to transfer their prescriptions to pharmacies that offer those services. Patients also value pharmacies where they can receive medical advice concerning their prescription medications, how those medications may interact with each other, and receive over-the-counter drug recommendations for

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy recommends that consumers choose a pharmacy at which they can have a consulting relationship with the pharmacist. Anyone using drugs benefits when they have easier access to a pharmacist. Being timely includes both processing

6080-498: The older Pincherle numbers as the (re-) discovery of more manuscripts had rendered older catalogs obsolete. This cataloging work was led by the Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi, where Gian Francesco Malipiero was both the director and the editor of the published scores (Edizioni G. Ricordi). His work built on that of Antonio Fanna, a Venetian businessman and the institute's founder, and thus formed

6175-430: The orphans began to gain appreciation and esteem abroad, too. Vivaldi wrote concertos, cantatas and sacred vocal music for them. These sacred works, which number over 60, are varied: they included solo motets and large-scale choral works for soloists, double chorus, and orchestra. In 1704, the position of teacher of viola all'inglese was added to his duties as violin instructor. The position of maestro di coro , which

6270-809: The others are for bassoon , cello , oboe , flute , viola d'amore , recorder , lute , or mandolin . About forty concertos are for two instruments and strings, and about thirty are for three or more instruments and strings. As well as about 46 operas, Vivaldi composed a large body of sacred choral music, such as the Gloria , RV 589; Nisi Dominus , RV 608; Magnificat , RV 610 and Stabat Mater , RV 621. Gloria, RV 589 remains one of Vivaldi's more popular sacred works. Other works include sinfonias , about 90 sonatas and chamber music. Some sonatas for flute, published as Il Pastor Fido , have been erroneously attributed to Vivaldi, but were composed by Nicolas Chédeville . Vivaldi's works attracted cataloging efforts befitting

He visited Milan again the following year with the oratorio L'adorazione delli tre re magi al bambino Gesù (RV 645, now lost). In 1722 he moved to Rome, where he introduced his operas' new style. The new Pope Benedict XIII invited Vivaldi to play for him. In 1725, Vivaldi returned to Venice, where he produced four operas in

Pharmacy technicians are now more dependent upon automation to assist them in their new role dealing with patients' prescriptions and patient safety issues. Pharmacies are typically required to have a qualified pharmacist on-duty at all times when they are open. It is also often a requirement for the owner of a pharmacy to be a registered pharmacist, but that

He was son of Giovanni Battista Vivaldi and Camilla Calicchio, as recorded in the register of San Giovanni in Bragora . He was baptized immediately after his birth at his home by the midwife , the reason for which has led to speculation. It

6650-428: The proper use of medicines. In most countries regulations govern how dispensaries may operate, with specific requirements for storage conditions, equipment and record keeping. It is becoming more common for pharmacists to take on extended roles that provide more clinical care directly to patients as part of a primary care team. There are around 11,400 community pharmacies in England. Many are open for extended hours in

6745-522: The recapture of the island of Corfu . Composed in 1716, it is one of his sacred masterpieces. All eleven singing parts were performed by girls of the orphanage, both the female and male roles. Many of the arias include parts for solo instruments—recorders, oboes, violas d'amore , and mandolins—that showcased the range of talents of the girls. Also in 1716, Vivaldi wrote and produced two more operas, L'incoronazione di Dario (RV 719) and La costanza trionfante degli amori e degli odi (RV 706). The latter

6935-487: The request quickly and having drug stock available to fill the prescription. Some consumers need drugs delivered to their home, perhaps by mail, and may select a pharmacy that offers that service.

In addition to fulfilling prescriptions, a pharmacy might offer preventive healthcare services like vaccinations. Up-to-date technology at

7030-467: The same year. During this period, Vivaldi wrote the Four Seasons , four violin concertos that give musical expression to the seasons of the year. The composition is probably one of his most famous. Although three of the concerti are wholly original, the first, "Spring", borrows motifs from a Sinfonia in the first act of Vivaldi's contemporaneous opera Il Giustino . The inspiration for the concertos

7505-492: The year 2000, a growing number of Internet pharmacies have been established worldwide. Many of these pharmacies are similar to community pharmacies, and in fact, many of them are actually operated by brick-and-mortar community pharmacies that serve consumers online and those that walk in their door. The primary difference is the method by which the medications are requested and received. Some customers consider this to be more convenient and private method rather than traveling to

In February 1711, Vivaldi and his father traveled to Brescia , where his setting of

He had to compose an oratorio or concerto for every feast and teach the orphans both music theory and how to play certain instruments. His relationship with the board of directors of the Ospedale was often strained. The board had to vote every year on whether to keep a teacher. The vote on Vivaldi was seldom unanimous and went 7 to 6 against him in 1709. In 1711, after

7980-483: Was especially common in the work of Italian groups driving the mid-20th-century revival of Vivaldi, such as Gli Accademici di Milano under Piero Santi. For example, the Bassoon Concerto in B ♭ major, "La Notte", RV 501, became CE 12, F. VIII,1 Despite the awkwardness of having to overlay Fanna numbers onto the Complete Edition number for meaningful grouping of Vivaldi's oeuvre, these numbers displaced

8075-432: Was most likely done due to his poor health. There is a false rumor that an earthquake struck the city that day.

8170-497: Was one dedicated to the music of J.S. Bach. Nearly all the performances within the set were made according to historically informed performance practices, and (most unusually for such large sets) over half the set had been newly recorded for the purpose.

8360-448: Was probably the countryside around Mantua. They were a revolution in musical conception: in them, Vivaldi represented flowing streams, singing birds (of different species, each specifically characterized), barking dogs, buzzing mosquitoes, crying shepherds, storms, drunken dancers, silent nights, hunting parties from both the hunters' and the prey's point of view, frozen landscapes, ice-skating children, and warming winter fires. Each concerto

8455-403: Was problematic. One of his symptoms, strettezza di petto ("tightness of the chest"), has been interpreted as a form of asthma .

His father, Giovanni Battista, was a barber before becoming a professional violinist and was one of

8550-668: Was published by Giuseppe Sala. His Opus 1 is a collection of 12 sonatas for two violins and basso continuo , in a conventional style. In 1709, a second collection of 12 sonatas for violin and basso continuo appeared (Opus 2). A real breakthrough as a composer came with his first collection of 12 concerti for one, two, and four violins with strings, L'estro armonico (Opus 3), which was published in Amsterdam in 1711 by Estienne Roger , and dedicated to Grand Prince Ferdinand of Tuscany . The prince sponsored many musicians, including Alessandro Scarlatti and George Frideric Handel . He

8645-473: Was so popular that it was performed two years later, re-edited and retitled Artabano re dei Parti (RV 701, now lost). It was also performed in Prague in 1732.

Vivaldi, in fact, adamantly denied any romantic relationship with Girò in a letter to his patron Bentivoglio, dated 16 November 1737. Vivaldi collaborated with choreographer Giovanni Gallo on several of his later operas stage in Venice with Gallo choreographing
