![]() ![]() Anyway, Firefox is treating me nice so far. I just think the Vivaldi team are probably under-staffed, meaning they tend to focus on the wrong stuff. But even a customization fanatic like myself think there's ~50% too many settings. Again implying that the browser is indeed bug-ridden, seeing how many times the devs need to push out new updates to fix them. Every other day you have to pause your work to press a large "UPDATE READY" button next to the address field, or try to ignore it. I remember Youtube freaking out for a few days that one time.Īnd honestly, there's too many updates. Pinned tabs would randomly go into hibernation mode despite being set not to. Had to reinstall and try to mess around with exporting settings with that stuff happening. Few weeks later it was randomly fixed.īookmarks freaked out completely for some reason, and I had to 'redo' them manually.īrowser basically freaked out completely for me about 1 week ago. Search function in settings just stopped working one day. Picture-in-Picture stuff that made many images here on reddit just not work. (Current) Opening tabs causes browser to freak out and show an empty tab, which you have to tab out of. The past year or so I've run into so many bugs. The official sub is filled to the brim with bug reports and people having problems, yet nobody seems to want to admit it's a problem ( shrug). And they evoke the whole compass of existence, from the beauty of nature to great Moghuls from the East.It was nice while it lasted, but Vivaldi is just too buggy and tares on your patience. But the vast majority are for his own instrument, the violin. For example, Vivaldi was the first composer to treat the cello as a serious solo instrument. These concertos champion all sorts of instruments. They were a great influence on music all over Europe. They’re dazzling to listen to and performers relish them. He brought drama, excitement and a sense of story to them. ![]() But his real legacy are his 500 or so instrumental concertos, and maybe it’s Vivaldi’s prowess as an opera composer that is the secret to how affecting they are. Doesn’t that change how you feel about him?Īs a priest, Vivaldi wrote many religious works, and during his life, he was best known as a composer of operas, not instrumental works. But Vivaldi, he was teacher, and a great number of his compositions were for his students in an orphanage. Secondly, Vivaldi lived in an age when music was written either for the Church, or for noblemen and royalty. He’s known as the Red Priest, on account of his hair, which was, well, red. ![]() In fact it was touch and go when he was a baby, so much so that when he pulled through, his mother pledged that he would become a priest, and he did. There are two important pieces of information about Vivaldi, which I feel you should know.įirstly, he suffered from poor health his whole life - we think it was probably chronic asthma. There’s a lot to this composer that is easily missed to our modern ears. In fact, people who aren’t fans of his describe his music as being "cookie-cutter" or "samey." There’s even the joke that he composed just one concerto, 500 times!īut I want to make a case for Vivaldi as being much more than a purveyor of fluffy concertos. If music was a numbers game, this composer would be the undisputed greatest. ![]()
