Explain Why The Cello Is A String Instrument

When Beethoven was writing the Violin Concerto, orchestral instruments were very similar to those used in Haydn 's and Mozart 's time.9 During the 19th century, violin luthiers were trying to recreate Italian Stradivari and Guarneri models, including the most famous luthier in Germany during Beethoven 's time. Rode, Kruetzer, Baillot, all alive during Beethoven 's time period, were known to play on Stradivarius violins, with pernambuco wood bows that were of the Tourte style.10 François Tourte was the most innovative bow maker of all times, and he invented the modern bow, which produced a bigger sound, and allowed for a new galaxy of bow techniques. All subsequent bows have been variations of the Tourte style. Violins during Beethoven 's time used gut strings, made from sheep or goat intestines. It produced a softer, darker sound than that of modern strings made of metal and synthetic materials, introduced around the third quarter of the 19th century. Other changes to the violin after Beethoven 's time include the use of the chin and shoulder rests, which were created by the violinist Louis Spohr (1784 – 1859). The chin rest lifts the the chin above the violin, so that it does not have to touch the violin top, allowing it resonate better with less damping.11 Many of the

It plays so delicately. It's so light and dainty. The ukulele is like an extension of my soul. The way it makes your tummy rumble when you play, and the way it makes you feel like you're floating on clouds when you play. I have only had it for 7 months but I can't imagine what I’d be without it. It’s the thing that makes me happy, and sometimes sad or frustrated. I love how cute and sweet the strum sounds when you play it, and I love how easy it is to learn. I love the soprano ukulele, and the concert and the tenor and baritone. I love the pineapple, and all kinds. I just want to play them all, I love the uke. I know it’s a trend right now to play it but I have wanted to for a bit and Zoe B. convinced me to get it.

On a guitar, each string makes a certain note, depending on the speed it vibrates at. The shorter the string, the faster it vibrates, producing a higher note. Strings do almost the exact same thing; depending on which theory you look at. In some string theories, strings are defined as one-dimensional non-looping objects, but in most, they are shown as one-dimensional loops. The reason why string theory is so revolutionary is because it unifies the two major theories that describe the universe; Einstein’s theory of relativity, which uses the most familiar of the four forces, gravity, and quantum mechanics, which are responsible for the other three: strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetism.     

As a child, I decided to try my hand at the cello. From then, I traversed the vast world of music, and satiated my relentless

I do not understand the sentence “(In fact, this affection was not entirely altruistic; there existed here a veritable traffic of children among homosexuals, i learned later.)”, does this mean the SS officers were interested in the boys sexualy? If so they were hypocrites; one of the populations who were targeted during the holocausts were the homosexuals. Then they also should have been killed in the gas chambers. Also why were there orchestras in concentration camps? For the officer’s entertainment? That is just sick, they are forcing people into labor then coming to enjoy the music. Who played the instrument? If it was the prisoners, one would be lucky to have known to play an instrument. To play music everyday instead of working hard labour all day.

Introduction The classical guitar, also referred to as “nylon string guitar” or “Spanish guitar” is a plucked instrument with six strings from the instruments family called chordophones . The classical guitar is known well for its right-hand technique that is comprehensive, and allows the soloist to perform complex polyphonic and melodic material just like the piano . Typically, the instrument is characterized by its strings with the 3-bass strings (E-A-d) hat are made of the nylon fiber and wound by a metal thread, the treble strings (g-b-e) made of nylon. Despite the fact that strings of the guitar are today made of nylon, from the old traditions, the animal strings are still available. The paper will discuss the history of classical guitar where it will briefly discuss the medieval, renaissance, baroque, classical and

Temple asking him how school was going. Andrew was a very talkative and energetic boy with a heavy sense of sarcasm. While Andrew was telling Ms. Temple about school, Ms. Temple was putting a shoulder rest on his instrument and tuning it. At 4:51pm, Andrew showed Ms. Temple his fourth finger exercises. Ms. Temple asked for it to move to the C string. Once Andrew did this, Ms. Temple asked if he could make a thumping sound when his finger hit his fingerboard. Ms. Temple stated how it should be put down with authority. Andrew seemed to struggle with this and felt like it was his viola that was the issue. Ms. Temple quickly tried it on his viola to show him how it was possible and involved pinky strength. At 4:53pm, Andrew played through exercise thirteen and twenty-four in the Suzuki book. Throughout this exercise, Andrew was able to play the exercises well and make funny comments throughout. At 4:56pm, Andrew took out Suzuki Book 1 and opened it to, Bohemian Folk Song. He was able to play through this piece well! Andrew stated afterwards, “At least I tried to do the ritardando”. His knowledge and articulation of musical terminology was very impressive due to his young age. Ms. Temple really focused on Andrew’s posture by making sure he did not over exaggerate it. She also focused on note names and having Andrew verbalize it. At 5:00pm, Ms. Temple was moving to show the increase of bow and

A violin is a wooden, four string instrument that is a part of the violin family. In its family, the violin is the most high-pitched and the smallest. Also, violins are usually played with a bow made from horsehair. A typical violin bow measures near 75 centimeters and usually weighs 60 grams. This instrument is tuned by turning the four pegs near the top. Many various notes and sounds can be played by pressing down on a certain part of a string while sliding the bow. A

2. How is a modern violin bow different from a baroque violin bow? The original violin bow made it easier for more notes to be played at the same time. It is much harder to play notes at the same time on modern violin. Modern violinists have to put more pressure on the strings which in turn made it sound louder.

There are several things you should consider when choosing repertoire for beginning string orchestra. It is important as a teacher to consult several resources to learn about quality compositions arrangements, and to learn about new works. You can find lists from publishing companies (i.e. The FKH Music Company Inc., C. Alan Publications, etc.), magazines such as SBO, state contest lists, and string and orchestra teacher online groups and forums. You can also find repertoire ideas in the book Strategies for Teaching Strings by Hamann & Gillespie (Oxford Univ. Press) or in Teaching Music Through Performance in Orchestra, 3 Vols. w/ CD (GIA Publications). You should consider both original works and arrangements of standard literature, and look

Response: Most kids don’t quit piano after six years of lessons. I did. After six year of lessons, forced-practices, time, and money, I made the big decision a year and a half ago to quit piano and cello and start violin. The piano was there as long as I

The great Violin is a powerful high string instrument and have great numbers in the orchestra invented in the early 16th century in Italy painted by Gaudenzio Ferrari 1st made by Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesù.

Its strings are lashed to the neck with movable strips of leather and fed over a fan-shaped bridge at the far end of the body. The string closest to the player produces the highest pitch and the player plucks it with his thumb, just like a 5-string lute.

The capital of China is called Beijing. With a lot of people comes a lot of musical cultural. Chinese opera is very big throughout china and has been a strong to their culture for many generations. Some characteristic traits of a Chinese opera singer would be that they performed dressed in costumes and wear makeup while on stage. Opera singers are good at all the following: speaking, singing, dancing, miming, acting, and acrobatics. In these performances, there were usually a male, female, painted-face male, and a clown. Females were not usually used in the performances so males would play their roles. The instruments used in these plays were a small, two-string fiddle with a piercing timbre called the jinghu as well as another chordophone instrument called the pipa. Other instruments are including in the percussion section like the gongs, cymbals, and wooden clappers. The leaders of the performance use a drum called the a danpi gu. Another type of music in the Chinese culture would be the solo zheng style. The conservatory solo zheng style was predated and influenced by several important regional styles of solo sheng music in the 19th century. The zheng is related to other Asian board zither chordophones, which include the Japanese koto, the Korean kayagum, the Mongolian jatag, and the Vietnamese dan tranh. The oldest forms of the zheng were consisted of five silk strings attached on a bamboo body, and over time the zheng transformed into many modern forms. These new forms consisted of a wooden body that had sixteen strings attached instead of the original

Adrian Anantawan’s performance sounds just like a person without a disability. Since he can’t use his full bow, he puts pressure on his hands to make the dynamics come out. He also closes his eyes through the entire performance because he is lost in the music. He also moves his body so it helps him with moving the bow more and also because he is so into the music he is playing. He also uses his fingers to get the right notes, pitches, tone, etc. It works and you will think he is just a normal person playing the violin beautifully if you don’t look at him.
