Sonata structure, however, with extreme fortepianos. Both composers utilize sequencing and sheer repetition. Beethoven employs the ‘Fate’ motif across themes; and Berlioz’s variation of triplet rhythms. On the other hand, Berlioz introduces a larger orchestra than that of Beethoven’s (1st – 3rd movements), Beethoven relies on his own intimate thoughts, to convey his individual and majestic orchestral writings while Berlioz’s compositional technique lies in the nature of the

could participate in it. The venue was rather small, with about forty participants; therefore, it seemed more personal. I have never gone to an orchestra before and do not see why the younger generation does not participate in it as much. My husband and I were the youngest people there, aside from the musicians, and I am sad that there was not more. Orchestras are beautiful and quite different from a typical concert, and I believe everyone should participate in one at least once. My favorite repertoire

For me, this was my first experience singing in a choir with a large orchestra and choir ensemble the (Madison Symphony Orchestra and Chorus). That moment changed music in my life. It was there, singing with the orchestra and choir that I realized that music is really what I wanted to do with my life.

concertmaster for Philharmonia and for both years in Chamber. I played in all of the out of school performances, musicals, attended rehearsals, participated in Solo & Ensemble, and consistently practiced all of the pieces. I was completely dedicated to orchestra and gave 100%, even with my difficult class load last year. I am not sure if you are insinuating

them. The minor tone of the piece, and the gradual increase in the dynamic, helps build tension. The movement has many tempo changes as it presents two different themes during it. The themes themselves can be very loud, especially with the full orchestra playing,

If you were to go back to the 15th century, it would be easy to recognize the predecessor of the trombone. Previously the sackbut, this Italian instrument was originally intended to accompany a church organ, so it didn’t have music written specifically for it. This fifty hour process involves lots of shaping and torching in order to get a beautiful outcome with a powerful sound.

I will begin with a short explanation of why I choose to analyse this piece followed by what makes this piece so remarkable. I will then present the musical context – German Romantic period – in which this piece was composed and discuss how it is representative of this period. Also, I will present briefly

After an amazing performance of the concerto, Heidi Van Hoesen Gorton left the stage and the rest of the orchestra came back to play selections from Mendelssohn’s Midsummers Night Dream. The first movement they started with was Scherzo. The start was a very light, quiet and fast melody flute with smaller intervals.
