Chapsodie De Concert

Was I standing awkwardly? Oh man, here it comes.” As I looked out to all the expectant faces, I began to say a little prayer to God. I knew that I wouldn't be able to start playing the song with the sentiment, passion, and affection that I wanted it to sound like. In that moment, I felt a rush of emotion; a feeling of confidence. With a nervous smile, I put my violin on my shoulder and the bow on my violin. Giving a nod to the pianist, I started to play. I realized a part of myself that I never knew; where my words couldn't describe, my violin sang. Finishing my song and seeing the knowing smiles of people being touched by the music, a wave of accomplishment settled in. Knowing that I could share something so beautiful made up for all of the long hours in the practice

On Wednesday April 27, 2016 at 8:00 p.m., I went to see the Kennesaw State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nathaniel F. Parker. The concert took place at the Dr. Bobbie Bailey & Family Center in the Morgan Hall. The pieces they performed were "Infinite Ascent" by Erik Morales, "Allegro moderato" by Carl Nielsen, "Andante and Hungarian Rondo, Op.35" by Carl Weber, "Allegro con spirito" by Johann Hummel, and "Symphonic Metamorphosis" by Paul Hindemith.

Johannes Brahms was a German composer and pianist and one the most significant composers of the 19th century. Brahms showed great talent as a youth starting piano lessons at age 7 and giving his first performance by age 10 (Tyle). In 1853, Brahms was introduced to Robert Schumann, and an immediate friendship ensued. Schumann thoroughly impressed with Brahms, wrote about him praising his work.

“Real music is always, revolutionary, for it cements the ranks of the people; it arouses them and leads them onward,” claimed Dmitri Shostakovitch. Composers create music to influence but also to entertain people. On November 4, 2017, I attended the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale concert at Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, which was conducted by Gary Lewis.

Each musical piece was performed beautifully by the Diderot String Quartet, which included 2 violinists (Johanna Novom and Adriane Post), a cellist (Paul Dwyer), and a violist (Kyle Miller).

Franz Liszt was one of the first individuals to experiment with form. He also used theme to unify an entire work and liked playing suits without pause instead of in single movements. His piano compositions mirror his talent as a virtuosic piano player, yet he wrote pieces that could also be performed by many pianists. He also wrote many nationalist compositions and while they are also amazing his symphonic poem takes the

By the age of eight years old Franz had made some appearances and began writing musical compositions. A group of wealthy sponsors were intrigued by Franz talents so the funded his musical training.
