Stradivarius Violin

The first concert I attended was performed by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra had performed Shostakovich’s “Symphony NO. 7, Leningrad” from the Romantic era. The orchestra was a large ensemble (1) containing various instruments that contributed to the overall sound of the piece. Since the orchestra was a large ensemble, just like the instrumentation common in the Romantic era, the orchestra was able to perform in a lively, vigorous manner, probably vivace (2). The orchestra performed tutti

“A Music Faculty Recital” at Prince George 's Community College was actually the very first concert I’ve been to that included Baroque style. The environment created a nostalgic yet modern and elegant mood; something that made you feel like you were in the late 1700’s yet still in modern times. The songs were mostly enjoyable and we 're all well played. This concert included an ensemble: the flute, the cello, the piano, and the harpsichord. Peggy Bair, who played the flute, was very enthusiastic. Irma Cripe, who played the cello, was quiet for the first part of the concert but gradually became more important throughout the concert. And lastly, the virtuous Gary Kirkeby, who played the piano and harpsichord, served as the backbone of all parts of the concert and made this concert very enjoyable.

As a member of the orchestra, Stephen distinguished himself by his solid musicianship, dependability, and leadership. Always on time for rehearsals with his music well prepared, Stephen’s supportive attitude and musical skill inspired his fellow performers. Greatly respected by members of the orchestra, he was appointed concertmaster in his freshman year, a rare accomplishment. In 2005 he won the orchestra concerto competion, and soloed with the orchestra, performing Pablo de Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen. I have engaged him to solo again with

On the 5th of December, I attended my second concert in Cypress Recital Hall. It was an amazing experience. I got to fully appreciate the sounds of the violin and the piano. Erika Salas, played the Violin accompanied by Yoko Mizuno, Doris Wang and Michael Cooper each individually performed a different piece on the piano. The first song was Sonata in D major HWV 371 by George Frideric Handel and performed by Erika Salis and Yoko Mizuno. The structure of this sonata was made up of four movements. Affetuoso feeling, tenderly, Allegro lively, fast, Larghetto slowly, steadily, and Allegro energetic, fast. Each section had a specific form the first movement reminds one of a slow symphony. The Allegro is written in a fugue, polyphonic style. The

If Stradivari would have ever needed a virtuoso to test and analyze the secret properties of his divine violins, the brilliance, sweetness of the most precious instruments ever crafted by human kind, by human hand, I know who that person is. She lives among us now in the 21st century. As is said, she sleeps and breathes every musical vibration her mortal existence and soul can possibly conjure up. She is the one. The correct one, the virtuoso born in heaven. The one he never met.

I saw a Beethoven concert online which took place on May 7th, 2015 in Chicago, to celebrate the anniversary of Beethoven’s glorious masterpiece Symphony 9. The concert was a classical concert which was conducted by Ricardo Muti who has remained a conductor for Philharmonica orchestra (London), and Philadelphia Orchestra. The concert was directed by Duain Wolfe who is and Americal Chorale conductor as well as the founder Colorado Symphony and the Colorado Children’s chorale. . Some of the artists who participated in the Orchestra were Camilla Nylund (played soprano), Ekaterina Gubanova (played mezzo-soprano), Matthew Polenzani (played tenor), Eric Owens (played bass-baritone), and the rest of the artists were from Chicago Symphony Orchestra. All the musicians were dressed formally in black suits with white shirts, or black dresses. The symphony was played in four movements: Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso, Scherzo: Molto vivace, Adagio molto e cantabile, Finale: Ode to Joy.

Antonio Stradivari is quite often referred to as the greatest violin and stringed instrument maker to ever live. Much of this credit is given to Stradivari because people simply know his name. Countless violinists have expressed over the years the great frequency that people always ask them if they own a Stradivari instrument or not. The reality is, although Antonio Stradivari was certainly a master at his work, he was not the only one to create stringed instruments and certainly was not the first to do so. People remember Stradivari because of the quality of the instruments that he made. Much of our basis for stringed instruments to date has been, however, influenced by Antonio Stradivari. The basis for Stradivari’s influence on future generations of musicians and instrument makers was shaped by events that happened before Stradivari was born, the perfectionist way he established his workshop, his death, and the physics and name of his instruments.

They performed Concerto, Op. 6, No. 8 in G Minor, also known as “The Christmas Concerto.” I really enjoyed this piece very much. It was also enjoyable for me to watch this piece, because my rowing teammate, Siena Vietti, was a principal player for the violins and they all wore Santa hats which was cute. The performance media for this piece was violins, violas, cellos, and bass, and it looked like a keyboard. I believe this to be a harpsichord, but was not entirely sure. Once listening to this piece a couple times, and doing some research on it, I learned it was interpreted from the Baroque period. However, I feel that this piece is not as bizarre or strange sounding as other Baroque music we have listened to in class. I noticed 4 distinct movements when I first heard it at the concert, but after listening a couple more times and doing some more research on it, I learned there about 6 movements within the song. It begins very slowly, then grows to a faster speed, and then becomes more moderate, then very lively, a bit faster, and then slow again at the end. My favorite movements were the 4th and 5th. These movements were very lively and fast, and really enjoyable and interesting to listen to. I really enjoyed listening to the violins throughout this part. Overall, this piece was very interesting to listen to and the MU Orchestra did a fantastic job at

I intend to compile a selective annotated bibliography concerning the violin making and the development of the violin. Violin is an important role in instruments family. Different manufacturing methods have different violin sound. Also in different periods, people have different ways to make the violin. For example, baroque violin sound soft and there is decorative pattern on the violin and there is no chin rest on the baroque violin. I am very interested in the manufacture of the violin in different periods. I will include journal articles, dissertations, ILL documentation, books, audio recordings, video recordings, research journal, and the material about the violin-maker named Antonio Stradivari. As a violinist, I want to know more about

There were a total of four music pieces performed. They were “Overture from the Singspiel”, “Concerto in e minor”, “Concerto on b minor,opus 104”, and “Symphony#2 in b minor, opus 5”. I think pieces were performed belong to classical style.

Mr. Sam works on the tone quality and the construction of the violin this article. He uses the ‘Huberman’ Stradivari violin to give readers an example and he believes that the wood choice is a crucial part for making the high quality-tone violin. Unfortunately, in some paragraphs, he writes some abbreviation of English words. Except this reason, the author provides enough knowledge to help further researchers and makers.

Violins are one of a kind. Did you know that a man named Bronislav Huberman helped saves jews in the holocaust just by playing the violin. That's amazing that a small instrument could do that.The history of the violin is very special. The parts are all important and unique. How it has grown and used today is amazing! Next time you are listening to a song see if you can hear a violin or two in the

The first topic of discussion will be the history of the violin and how it was developed ("Lancaster Symphony Orchestra” 1). Then one will learn how the unique sound and

This was the first year that I had tried out for District Orchestra. The piece was Concerto No. 23 in G Major, by Giovanni Battista Viotti. This was by far the most difficult piece that I have ever had to learn. One thing
