Piano: Music Analysis

The show Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, would be a great tool for teaching US History, namely from 1776 to 1800. The musical follows the life of Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s Founding Fathers. Act I focuses on his pre- and mid-revolution life, while Act II details the remainder of his life, post-revolution. Not only does it provide a lot of valuable information on Hamilton, but it has plenty of information on other key individuals such as Aaron Burr, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. In addition, it presents the information in a unique, entertaining way with the usage of music that appeals to today’s youth. In short, this musical is a fun and interesting perspective on the beginning of America and many students would

Symphony No. 7 in A Major (Op. 92), completed in 1812, might have been one of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s most popular pieces. The seventh of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, its premiere concert (December 1813 in Vienna) was performed at a charity concert in order to benefit the soldiers who had been wounded a few months prior in the battle of Hanau. It was performed three times in ten weeks following its premiere. During the time of the symphony’s premiere, Vienna was still distressed due to being taken over by Napoleon in 1805 and 1809 and yearning for victory; the audience at the premiere seemed to have loved the energy and beauty of the piece. The Seventh Symphony had been dedicated to both Count Moritz von Fries and Russian Empress Elisabeth

We explored the aeolian scale when we composed our music. We also made sure to use the lyrics to a song that was around during the middle ages. Back in the middle ages there were only 2 types of music secular and religious. The secular music was written in the local language where as religious music was in latin. Secular music would have instruments playing but religious music would not have any instruments adding tune, but they would sometimes use a drum as a drone to help keep the beat. The piece we composed is similar to a religious middle ages peice of music. Our composition has a drone and latin lyrics we also used the aeolian scale which was a commonly used scale from the middle ages. Our composition also has polyphonic

An application of Analysis of Beethoven’s ‘Pathetique’ piano sonata No. 8 inC minor, Op.13 with particular focus on musical features such as melody, thematic content, rhythm, form and structure, and harmony.

The piece opens very quickly, with a quickening of the cello but it is suddenly interrupted with the piano in a deep key. The opening part of the piece has a significant amount of dissonance, bringing a sense of anxiety and desire for the piece to end. As it rises, the listener is both anxious for an ending and a resolution. The piano is this ending. The piece then picks up in a minor key, entering a more mystical and quiet place. The piano takes precedence with the cello sitting in the background yet when the listener thinks the pieces will be piano heavy, the cello takes over the piano withdraws to the background. The deep vibratos of the cello are contrasted with the light single key of the piano. This leads the listener to associate the cello with a lament and the piano for hope. The piano always closes the movement with a deep, somber key, suggesting that though hope is out there, there is still an air of sadness, of melancholy.

The piano concerto in the 1800s was still very standard. By 1850, the piano was still being used in a conventional manner. The two Brahms piano concerti are demonstrative of Brahms employing a classical, conservative style. The first concerto is in a traditional three movements, with a long orchestral introduction, a slow second movement, and a rondo finale. The second concerto came decades later and is in four movements. In the first movement, the piano interrupts the horn solo that begins the piece. The second movement is a scherzo. The slow third movement has a cello solo beginning the movement, giving a prominent role to the orchestra, not just the piano. The final movement goes back to tradition. Both concerti are exceedingly long, clocking in around fifty minutes.

After Hayden Listened to Beethoven’s new symphony called, Eroica, he specifically said, “Everything is different from today”. I think what he meant by saying this is that music was going to have a drastic change because other composers would try and top his symphony. It was extremely different from current symphonies, and it made the audience feel the mood of the music which no one had done before.

The Pianist is a film directed by Roman Polanski that took place in Poland, in the year 1939, and was based on the autobiography of Wladyslaw Szpilman. Szpilman was a Polish-Jewish pianist that played live on the radio in Warsaw. The story follows Szpilman as he and his family struggle to live through the German occupation of Warsaw in World War II. Szpilman and his family are forced to adapt to the new rules and discrimination of the Nazi regime. They are later forced to move to the Warsaw ghetto with the rest of the Jewish population, which was over 400,000 people(United States Holocaust Memorial Museum "Warsaw"). After a few years, Szpilman’s family was put on a train going to a concentration camp, however a Jewish police officer saved Szpilman and let him escape. The film then tells of the harsh times Szpilman spent in hiding in the Warsaw ghetto and the people that hid and fed him. Wladyslaw Szpilman was played by Adrien Brody, who won an Oscar for his amazing performance in the film. The Pianist demonstrates the timeline and conditions of Warsaw through German behavior towards the Jews, subtleties in the background, and the change in mood through the color tones.

For the second and final concert report, I listened to the performance of Beethoven’s 9th symphony, as played by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Beethoven lived in Germany during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and was an influential figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in western music. The performance requires a large number of instruments, with woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings, and even a choir during the 4th movement.

Most of the history takes place during the years of the Regency that the popularity of the Piano and the Harpsichord instruments intersect, they both have seen their time in the spotlight. Many of the more affluent homes during this period had both keyboard instruments, nowadays you mostly see a Piano instead. But though they are somewhat similar in appearance, they are very different in terms of their construction, their touch and feel when being played, and the quality and volume of the sounds which they can produce.

0:16 The Bassoon is introduced followed by the French horn and cello. The melody is played by the bassoon and low strings.

Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is a brilliant piece that exposes the senses to the dark conflicts, then fight through the controversy with small bursts of triumph and ends with the overall elation with the final victory of the immense battle. In our reading, it was brought to light that the first four notes have more meaning. “Dot, dot, dot, dash. The Morse code symbol for V, which stood for victory.” It leaves little to the imagination to understand why this piece by Beethoven is and has been a symbol for Victory.

Today was like any other day, but today we was a first grade music program that night. Before the program started I was get ready to go and about 1 hour or so me and my brother and some friends outside to skateboard. We were just skating around the neighborhood and getting ready to go back to the house when my brother skated down a big hill. When my brother went down, another one of my friends when down after him down the hill. I was thinking I was able to do it do but what I didn’t know is that doing that would ruin my night.
