<P> There is some debate as to whether the four concertos were written to accompany four sonnets or vice versa . Though it is not known who wrote these sonnets , there is a theory that Vivaldi wrote them himself , given that each sonnet is broken down into three sections , neatly corresponding to a movement in the concerto . Whoever wrote the sonnets , The Four Seasons may be classified as program music , instrumental music that intends to evoke something extra-musical and an art form which Vivaldi was determined to prove sophisticated enough to be taken seriously . </P>
