Summer, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to Autumn, a harvest(收获) celebration will readily come to mind. 一 三 题序 二 四 3 But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate(气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now. 　　Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The “updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects(影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather. 一 三 题序 二 四 4 After enjoying it, people find the new Summer now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming(全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter.
