The Concerto for Strings in G Minor, RV 156, by Vivaldi is a full concerto with no featured soloists. The outer movements, Allegro, are tumultuous and fiery, with strutting syncopation and rushing melodies. The central movement, Adagio, features a walking bass line from the double bass, while the upper strings sustain tones.
While Vivaldi's Concerto is structured as a fast movement in Sonata form, followed by a slow and lyrical movement, and then another fast movement.
This concerto stands out in its opening, which starts with a feeling of disappointment, grief, and being silenced. This is reflected in the music especially at 0:26, with the dropping of tears audible at 0:34 (the attention to detail in this composition is mind-blowing). At 0:57, the emotions shift, and the tears are dried, but with a tinge of rage remaining. From here 1:17, the wings grow back, but there is no joy like the first time. The feeling is odd, eating you up inside, and it's not clear if it will even be okay. The music leads to this conclusion, with the final message at 1:47 being that we don't know if things will work out in the end, but we must keep flying and have hope.

Which on my side was also referencing here’s current name “Concerto for Strings in G Minor, RV 156” that of one of Antonio Vivaldi’s outstanding works which was slightly different than his usual concertos, sounding more desperate than epic.
which for me,
was a showcase for a difference between nature and nurture referencing
The Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043, also known as the Double Violin Concerto, is a violin concerto of the Late Baroque era by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1730. It is one of his most successful works and showcases his refined, German version of Vivaldi's Italian style. The concerto features the alternation of fast-slow-fast pacing and textural contrast between the ripieno and the concertino of duo-violins.
It is no surprise that Bach chooses D minor as the concerto's home key, nor that its first movement, a fast movement in Sonata form.
Therefore the fact that it starts with a chaotic rush and questionable optimism is clearly expected. The movement is designed to make you feel good and question its intention. By 0:50, we are officially stuck in the dance of the loop, with hints of realization and then the fear, desperation, and the desperation of finding a way out.
By 1:40, it's done; "it is what it is." when suddenly a click occurs at 1:47 (i get so excited every time) “fine.” followed by swing of the dance, and by 2:37 to 2:45, we beautifully hear the wave of disagreement shaping into agreement. However, like every path it gets heated at 2:54, leading to anxiety and frustration in trying to figure things out.
By 3:19 and within the next 30 seconds, there's a back-and-forth thought of whether to give in or not, however we are one.
Here it is the last argument, it goes up until the light is out.
