	Antonio Vivaldi: a detailed informative biography
		Despite his stay in Rome and other cities, Vivaldi remained in the service of the Ospedale della Pietà, which nominated him "Maestro di concerti." He was required only to send two concertos per month to Venice (transport costs were to the account of the client) for which he received a ducat per concerto.
		However Vivaldi continued to write instrumental music, although it was only to sell the manuscripts to private persons or to the Ospedale della Pietà, which after 1735 paid him a fixed honorarium of 100 ducats a year.
		Vivaldi's major publisher was Estienne Roger in Amsterdam, perhaps the best-known, and almost certainly the best-organized printer/publisher of the baroque era.

		Vivaldi was born in Venice and trained by his father, a violinist at Saint Mark’s Cathedral.
		From 1713 on, Vivaldi was active as an opera composer and producer in Venice and traveled to Rome, Mantua, and elsewhere to oversee performances of his operas.
		Vivaldi’s sense of instruments produced sound color and musical effects of great beauty, as in the slow movement of the Concerto for Four Violins in B minor from Opus 3.
