Sure, an example first for Vivaldi:


And now another baroque composer, Händel:


And Mozart since I compared my views on Vivaldi to him:


Finally, a compare and contrast in a different but related genre.

First, Jason Becker. When I listen to this song, I get imagery in my head of an Egyptian pharaoh who is just nnot having a good day and all these different talents like court jesters or jugglers try to entertain him and they fail and finally this Queen Nefertiti-esque woman walks in and suddenly he is happy:


And now a Yngwie Malmsteen wank-fest. When I listen to this, I get absolutely no imagery, even when taking into consideration the song title, in fact when I think of the song title and any sense that one could mean by Leviathan, this musoc doesn't at all come close to matching it:
