Does the idea of a patriotic classical music composer sound a little odd? Believe it or not, the talented Antonin Dvorak was one such composer. Born in Czechoslovakia, his works were largely inspired by the multitude of folk music presented in his home land, and also by the incredible Christian Reformer John Huss. Even though he was a Czech, he did live in America for about 3 years, and from here he created one of his best works: From the New World symphony. Overall, he can be considered a very key composer in the Romantic period of music.

Throughout history, people have been intrigued by love and lust which is shown by art, literature, and word of mouth. One author that had this curiosity of affection was Kate Chopin. In “Story of an Hour”, Mrs. Mallard died after finding out the shocking truth of her love one. In “The Storm”, Calixta’s Affair when a storm blow through her town causes some conflict in her mind. Chopin has a recurring theme of love in these two stories, but are shown in different ways by events that take place, the character’s idea of love and how the character’s actions affect the outcome.

The ability to compare and contrast two distinct authors such as Chopin and Millay is like comparing a wood burning stove to an oven, both great at their times but definitely changed ideas for the future. During the time frame of Chopin (1899), women still being treated like property, they can be legally beaten and done in public without any retribution from the law. Women are still considered homemakers and are shunned upon if they are working full time and trying to make a life on their own. While Chopin hits on these issues in her writing it is written in a language that still has to remain reserved so that her audience can understand it and not be too offended at the same time. With these ideas sparking events in history, to change the

Introduction: How did Chopin and Dunbar respond to the turmoil in their lives and society. As the oppression of slavery died out, a new age began to dawn of both technology and economics, also a new age also dawned for poets, writers, and the everyday person. The people of this age would experience something new from these poets and writers, no longer taking the people to a far away place, a place where starving, suffering, everyday life, doesn’t exists; no these poets would take their readers to their neighbors and maybe even themselves, show them the things we didn’t want to see. Chopin who was one of these writers, wrote about the oppression of women, the forced marriages, eternally serving, no freedom, and their eternal suffering.

Many different things are influential in many different ways. Whether it be how the sinking of the Titanic caused many changes in the regulations of ships, or how Newton’s law of universal gravitation helped to inspire Einstein’s theory of general relativity. As well as catastrophic events and scientific laws, works in the field of music have also been influential. For example, Jacques Offenbach’s Infernal Galop was used as the music for the Can-can, a popular dance. A theme from the Infernal Galop was also used in a movement of Camille Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals. Other influential composers include Beethoven, Mozart, J.S. Bach, and Tchaikovsky. Aside from being composers, these people have

“Remember this morning when I said I couldn't play that well and I've been practicing since I was 10”

It was a tough decision choosing between all the authors knowing them and their books they wrote. Out of all the others I was most interested in taking Kate Chopin or Jack London with me because I enjoyed their stories the most. At the end I chose to take Kate Chopin with me because she is a person I admire because of her strength and how she is a brave person. The reason for this is because when I think about what she had to go through losing all her loved ones I ask myself what would I do if this happened to me. First she lost her father at the age of five, it's sad to think about this because she barely knew her father, then her mother died, and lastly her husband died and she was left alone with six children. With all that going on her life her doctor told her to write

Frederyk Chopin, born March 1, 1810 from a french man and polish woman, established himself a pianist in his early life. When Chopin was a young musician he worked with polish themes of music, fantasia, and variations on a theme by Mozart. Using his own poetic strategy of music he developed new forms of piano music. With his work, love life, and early death, Chopin is a leading symbol of the romantic era.

Through the stories of both authors, readers easily recognize that the conclusion of stories dedicates for the reader. As well as Woolf writes in the story "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown". She shows to the reader the knowledge about the differences of context, society, individual, country; when on the same topic, the novelist will have a variety of style to writing. Both Chopin and Woolf have the style of writing look like the Georgian writers who want to write in different ways.

"A Haunted House"

Dark, yet beautiful, Schubert’s music had a way of sinking into every human’s soul. This Austrian composer’s enchantment for love, nature, exploring, and beauty inclined him to write over 600 songs deep down from the heart. Sadly, Schubert wasn’t given the opportunity for a long life; at age 31, he was diagnosed with Typhoid Fever. His last wish was to hear Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14 one last time and to be buried aside Beethoven, his lifelong role model (“Franz Schubert”).

According to De Portales, Liszt had a struggle in himself between the virtuoso and the composer and he knew that he had to choose. He chose to go with the composer and in 1847 his virtuoso career was over (De Portales 111-112). Another reason he made the choice was that in 1847 Liszt once again fell in love upon meeting a princess, named Carolyne Sayn- Wittgenstein, in Kiev. She gave him a large sum of money after a charity concert and he deeply desired to meet her to thank her (De Pourtales 117). They met and fell in love. In 1848, after knowing each other for a couple of months they went back to Weimar together, even though she was married to another man (De Pourtales 121-122). Liszt accepted a job at the Grand Duke of Weimar’s court and became the Kapellmeister in Weimar and also the conductor (Perenyi 238, Kamien 238). This even though it by the romantic era was more normal for musicians to be independent (“Liszt, Franz”). His reason was not because he needed money, he was the first pianist performer who could support himself by doing what he did, he wanted to start composing (Franz Liszt). He stayed at his position in Weimar from 1848 until 1861 (“Liszt, Franz”). His new orchestra one of the first in Germany (De Portales (114). He managed to make the orchestra bigger and to obtain more skilled players. He made sure to give them better pay and better pensions. The orchestra had 45 members (“Liszt, Franz”), which was a normal size for a romantic orchestra

Frederic Chopin was a Polish pianist and composer who integrated both the Romantic tradition and technical characteristics of the piano in an innovative and expressive way. (Oxford Music) “Chopin was the Romantic composer most closely identified with the piano” (Textbook) He combined beautiful melodies, inventive chords and harmonies, and virtuosic technique in a natural and eloquent way to create a tremendous collection of piano works throughout his lifetime. (Oxford Music) Of his many prominent works, Chopin’s collection of etudes has been one of the most revolutionary. This paper will delve into the historical and musical aspects of Chopin’s Etudes Op. 10.

Already rising up to becoming a great icon, Chopin played a major role in the art of composing piano pieces. Chopin created his own original technique that made his music so ingenious. He composed the “Trois Nouvelles Etudes”, the three new studies. These studies showed his various new techniques that later influenced the keyboard, and music itself (Hueneker 140). Chopin also constructed his own original pieces by including different genres of music into one composition. For example, he would combine a polonaise and a mazurka, two different Polish dances, one being slow while the other is lively. Frederic Chopin also influenced composition with his genius use of the piano. He used the instrument to its fullest effect to create a beautiful and expressive piece (Politoske, Daniel T.). His creativity was prominently brought out this way as he was able to produce melody and harmony (Samson 4). As a matter of fact, Chopin reached fame for his various piano compositions rather than his orchestral pieces (Politoske, Daniel T.). His arrangements utilized the piano in the most unique way which is why other musicians and his audiences admired his music. Arthur Rubinstein stated that, “…all possible expressions are found in his compositions and are all sung by him upon his instrument,” (Hueneker 91). Even
