Thus you could say that the Four Seasons are an 18 th century multi-media project. The works themselves were inspired by a series of four paintings depicting the seasons by Marco Ricci. They are often considered the first example of “program music,” as Vivaldi published them with companion poems sharing the natural aspects of the seasons he meant to evoke with his music. You can pull them apart easily, sort of like a Lego kit.” Contemporary composer Max Richter described its movements as “quite concise, but on a micro level it is modular music, made of these little atoms.

It's also just plain handy if you have several email accounts you want to check using a single interface. It's an empowering tool for those who want it. Putting an email client and newsreader in the browser gives people a way to take back control of those aspects of their online experience. Vivaldi offers an alternative to those of us who don't want Google reading our email, or don't want Facebook and Twitter determining what we read next. It's worth asking: Why bother with an email client in a web browser, when everyone uses web-based mail services? Because not everyone does.
