The parents have played a very important role in Daniels life. They brought him up always showing him what's wrong and what's right, what choices to make, and who to trust. Being a parent means that you should always be in control of your children for as long as possible. Daniel was said to be the type that needed guidance even though he came across as a strong and independent. His mother knew this, but even she was scared of what he was capable of. When times got rough the parents backed off and let him make his own choices. That wasn’t the best move to make. The parents might have shown love and affection to Daniel but they truly couldn’t see what was going on.

“The Bible above most, perhaps above all, books that have been written, has temperament… It draws upon attention and patience. It disciplines negligence. It puts fine spurs to motive. … It is a liberal education to learn how to live with it.” (Phelps, E S.) p.467 In other words according to The Book of Revelation, it is an apocalypse or unveiling of the truth about life. (Mounce, Robert H.) For Tim Wynne-Jones, “music [is his] major inspiration” (Jenkins, Phil). This author prefers parts of a game where “…the crises are imminent, the dangers unseen, the triumphs partial but also enormous.” (Jenkins, Phil). Nevertheless, in Tim Wynne-Jones’ The Maestro, Burl goes through a very rough past but manages to change his outlook on life once beauty is revealed to him. It reveals the mysteries of music and the universe, as well as the complexities of Burl’s life which in turn provides the protagonist hope and inspiration. We see this through the child’s life which begins filled with struggle and abuse then follows even when he first encounters the piano. However, there is something about it that’s freeing and attracting Burl. Later on, he finds a sanctuary—a fantasy place where something is revealed to him. This Revelation brought inspiration which in turn has made him aware of affection in dealing with his emotions and feelings of hope, his behaviours related to his decisions, his affiliations by being optimistic through his relations with others and lastly, has made him wiser in

5. Time and Motion- The element of time is somewhat apparent in which the painting depicts events that happened during the daytime because of the lighting and brightness used in the painting. The red and black colors incorporated in the smoke and fire from the villages implement a sense of time, because although there is smoke and fire the buildings are still in solid form, not destroyed, symbolizing that the fire may not have been burning for very long. When dealing with the element of motion I automatically begin to think

List at least three examples of imagery in the text that add to the overall tone. Explain how each description contributes to the emotional power of the piece.

Ever since his father began teaching him as a child to play the violin and clavier, any keyboard instrument such as the harpsichord, Ludwig van Beethoven has been amongst the most renowned and influential composers of music. Despite the harsh punishments and mistreatment Beethoven suffered through while practicing with his father, he still managed to become a “prodigy” at a rather young age, having his first public recital at around seven years old. After his first recital role music played in his continued to grow, and soon after dropping out of school to pursue music “full time” he published his first composition.

The most obvious thing that is important to the character is his adopted daughter, Anna. Throughout the narrative he shows that he cares for her happiness and her health. She is unable to speak clearly and tell her own story, so the character (father) tells it for her. The character is trying to show the reader how effective music can be as a therapy, and is using his own experience to prove the worth of musical therapy. He gives example after example of how music improved the life of his daughter, and how she looks forward to her day with music so eagerly. One line he says, “Ask her a direct question and you will get a stammered word or two at most. Play a song and she will begin to shout out the words, even if she has never heard them before. ”It is a testament to how much music can change her attitude and behaviours. It seems to fill her with confidence and strength where usually she is frail, a picture painted by the quote above.

Beethoven contributed one of the most significant musical developments through his fifth and ninth symphonies. He used a musical motive as the basic of his entire piece. (Beethoven described the motive as “Fate knocks at the door”.) It was the first time in history that anyone had done such a thing for a multi-movement piece. Beethoven’s contribution has become a norm in the music world, even to this day.

The early piano sonatas of Beethoven deserve special mention. Although his first published examples of concertos and trios and the first two symphonies are beneath the masterpieces of Mozart and Haydn, the piano sonatas bear an unmistakably Beethovian stamp: grandiose in scope and length, and innovative in their range of expression. The sonatas were able to move expression from terrible rage to peals of laughter to deep depression so suddenly. Capturing this unpredictable style in his music, a new freedom of expression which broke the bounds of Classical ideals, was to position Beethoven as a disturbed man in the minds of some of his contemporaries. Furthermore, he was to be seen as the father of Romanticism and the single most important innovator of music in the minds of those after him. (Bookspan 27).
