One person who did not overlook this popularity was the musician Shedville, who was also active in the music publishing industry… Having previously pieced together a collection of sonatas titled *The Faithful Shepherd* (boldly published as Vivaldi’s Op. 13) from various existing works by Vivaldi, he published a collection titled *The Joyful Seasons*, consisting of six pieces in total—including two compositions he arranged using the same technique, based on *The Four Seasons*. This collection, which was a success as sheet music allowing amateur musicians in Paris—who were particularly fond of the viellalu (a hardy-gurdy, a stringed instrument played by turning a handle to rotate a wheel that rubs against the strings)—to perform famous pieces, is now presented in a chamber music arrangement by Toby Miller, a new-generation viellalu player who showcased his remarkable technique in the collection of works by French Baroque composers ( *The Beautiful Vielle Player* RIC382), where he demonstrated remarkable virtuosity, now presents these pieces in a chamber music arrangement, offering a fresh and elegant interpretation that is refined in every detail. Although this collection is well-known among early music aficionados, opportunities to learn its details are rare; this release is all the more welcome for its comprehensive liner notes (which include a full translation in the Japanese edition).\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ricercar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525304541473,"sku":"4589538735722","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538735722.jpg?v=1789730738","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538735722","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
