    • 6 Pages

    the question on whether or not minors should be eligible for the death penalty, I believe there is not specifically a good answer. While the controversial topic brings problems among those being effected by what line the minor has crossed, a kid is still a kid. On the other hand, it is not fair or right that an eighteen year old could be charged with death while a seventeen year old can be charged for the same crime and keep his or her life.

    As this piece was from the romantic period, there were a lot more tone changes, from low to high. Similarly, the tempo was constantly changing between fast and slow, much like the timbre. The keys that Hadreas played were a mix between major and minor keys. This was to represent the back and forth of argument and dialogue, mentioned in stage 4, between “traditional and exotic scales”. The dynamic of the piece seems like it was forte, especially since it resembles a dispute. During these parts that
