Comparing Themes And Reflection Of A Piano Concert By Jeffrey Johnson

On Sunday, 14 October, Jeffrey Phelps, cello and Lee Jordan-Anders, piano, performed Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata in A Major, Opus 69 (1808) and Claude Debussy’s Sonata (1915)

On July 31st, 2015, at Lincoln Center: Avery Fisher Hall, the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra: Mozart and Brahms took place. The performers for that evening were Jeremy Denk, the pianist and Louis Langrée as the conductor. The performances that were played that night were Chaconne in D minor for piano left hand by composer Johann Sebastian Bach and Johannes Brahms, Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K.466 by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Symphony No. 4 in E minor by composer Johannes Brahms. The symphony was excellent in my opinion. The first performance, Chaconne in D minor for piano left hand wasn’t my favorite one but the last two were spectacular. It was the first time I’ve been to a classical music concert and it was a different

I decided to attend the Symphony on the Prairie on July24, 2015. I haven’t been to a Symphony Orchestra since I was very young and I was unable to attend the Symphony last Friday or Saturday. My fellow classmates invited me to the concert on July 24, 2015. I wanted to view a concert so I agreed to attend the Symphony with them. I also like Harry Potter and Star Wars; and they played pieces from both movies in the Symphony concert. Unfortunately there wasn’t any vocal throughout the concert but there were many instruments. These instruments include the entire string family (violin, viola, cello, and contrabass), the woodwind family (flute, piccolo, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and contrabassoon), the brass family (English horn, horn, trumpet, trombone, bass trombone, and tuba), and the percussion family (timpani, harp, and keyboard)

‘The Pianist’ is a cinematic masterpiece by the Polish director Roman Polanski. One of the key ideas that appear throughout much of the film is that of ‘hope being instrumental in our survival’. This idea is portrayed through Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish pianist, as he struggles for survival in Warsaw as everybody that he once knew and everything that he once had is lost. The idea of ‘hope being instrumental in our survival’ is worth learning about as it allows the audience to realise the importance of hope in todays society – and to understand how Polanski uses music to symbolise ‘hope’ for Szpilman in the film. Polanski effectively utilises an array of visual and oral text features such as music, dialogue, and lighting to build further

I attended the concert of Anton Nel and Bion Tsang at Bates Recital Hall on Friday night, April 15, 2016. Anton Nel played piano and Bion Tsang played cello. The concert lasted about an hour and thirty minutes. The performers total performed three Sonata by different composers, but my favorite one is the first one, which is Sonata in C major, Op.102, No. 1, composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

The next movement was very upbeat and I loved the melody that he wrote for the violins.

The concert that I attended was on November 14th, 2017, on a Tuesday night. Those that were performing were the Chamber Ensemble of Kutztown University. The Concert began at 7:30 p.m., and concluded at 8:30 p.m. When the concert was just beginning I was unsure of what to expect, besides the obviousness of a piano portion to the whole event, because there was one sitting in the center of the stage.

It took place at the Partridge Hall inside the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre at 7:30PM on January the 30th 2017. It was exquisite, and such an amazing performance. The performers were very talented and you could tell that they were professional players. They decided that they would take the audience around the World by playing different pieces from different countries at different time periods which gave us a wide variety of musical tastes and made the performance much more interesting. The first piece that they played was called Fanfare from La Peri by Paul Dukas. It was a strong way to start off the evening

Most of the songs that were performed in the chamber concert on October 20th 2016, were more contextual and emotional approach. With the measures of duple and triple. Some were hard to identify because it jumped to different themes and change in rythmes. The concert dress code was more casual and normal. The performers gave their full potential to bring the music to live. There were six performers overall. They performed a duo and then performed as a whole group to bring a mixture of sound. As three grand pianos and two toy pianos were used to create suspense and bring a set of tone to their audience.

Today I went to Dariush's senior recital at Cypress Hall. He presented 5 his own compositions.

The concert that I attended was ‘The Chamber Music of Joan Tower’ which occurred on November 10, 2016. It began at 12:30pm and occurred at the San Jose State University Music Concert Hall. The performers in question ranged from music students to professors.

On December 9, 2016 I had the pleasure of viewing Sofia Vasheruk performing Tchaikovsky Piano concert No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 at the previously recorded Young Pianist Festival in Amsterdam on November 24, 2013. She performed in the big hall of Muziekgebouw aan`t IJ, was accompanied by Noord Nederland’s Orkest and directed by Stefan Asbury.

The Pianist was released in December 2002 starring Adrien Brody and directed by Roman Polanski. The movie was adapted from The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story Of One Man’s Survival in Warsaw, an autobiography written by Władysław Szpilman. The purpose of the autobiography was to describe Szpilman’s experiences in Warsaw, Poland during the horrific events of the Holocaust. This film received the Academy Award for best actor and best director.

The beautiful sound of piano music has captured the hearts of people since the early eighteenth century. Since then, many musicians have dedicated their lives to this instrument. Some players even play piano so well that it may seem that this instrument is easy to play. However, to be able to play the piano well isn’t easy; it takes a lot of skill. To become a good piano player, one must love music very much, have good finger techniques, and body flexibility.

The most enjoyable piece from the performance was “Allegro,” from Mozart’s Concerto in Dm. There are simply not enough words in the English vocabulary to describe how eloquently crafted and rhythmically shaped this piece is. One of the most outstanding elements of this piece is the harmony created between the piano and the strings as they accompany each other with seeming flawlessness. The resulting experience is exhilarating to say the least. Accentuating the piece even more was the performance by the virtuoso pianist, Stewart Goodyear. Although still in his early twenties, this musical
