Which composer was NOT an influence on Holst?

  • Ludwig van Beethoven

  • Richard Strauss

  • Maurice Ravel

  • Antonio Vivaldi

Answer

Antonio Vivaldi was not an influence on Holst because Holst's music was primarily influenced by English folk music, Indian classical music, and the music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Vivaldi, on the other hand, was a Baroque composer known for his concertos and operas, and his music had a significant influence on the development of classical music.
