The purpose of this piece was to express the sorrow of love instead of the evenly praise of Christianity in the earlier periods. The suave harmony had a quite fast tempo and the tempo remained largo throughout the piece. Also, there were small breaks between stanzas occasionally, much less in frequency and in length compared to the previous piece. The swift tempo and the steady dynamics, which Nas maintained at mezzo forte for the most parts of the piece, constructed a smooth feeling to the listeners. Concerto No. 1 in E major, Pop. 8, REV 269 Allegro by Antonio Vivaldi Concerto No. In E major, Pop. 8, REV 269 Allegro was the first part in Antonio Vivaldi most famous work The Four Seasons and it was one of the best-known pieces of the Baroque music. The Four Seasons (Italian: Eel Equator Stagnation) was a set of the first four violin concertos composed in 1723. Instead of using the human voices to perform the melody, the classical string instruments, such as violins and cellos, created a form called string ensemble to enrich the melody of the piece. The piece Nas performed in E major with different melodies, usually more than two, mixing together to create a great harmony.

There were many repetitions in the measures of he piece, sometimes with parallel rhythms in different keys. And the fast and cherry tempo created a light and grateful feeling, which was in sync with the theme of spring in this piece. It employed duple meter throughout the Allegro piece and formed a steady but light sense. The dynamics changes of the piece were very drastic, ranging from piano to forte, creating clear images to the listeners. The cherry tone of the music was my favorite part of the concerto and the great contrast between the first and second violins or violins and basses has drawn me into the theme the music provided.
