Symphony number

the Electorate of Cologne. He was baptized on December 17, 1770. He had two younger brother, Caspar and Joann. His mother was Maria Magdalena van Beethoven and his father was Johann van Beethoven. He was an innovator, widening the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto and quartet. He combined vocals and instruments in a new way to create his own type of music. His music was like no other, and the most interesting part about it is that he was deaf when his most famous works were created. Beethoven was

In chapter 14 and 15, I have chosen three different genres of secular art. My first choice is a painting, the second a song, and the third a poem. In these chapters, we are introduced to a more secular style of art, rather than sacred art. This means that the art is beginning to focus more on historical events and non-religious subjects and stories. The painting I chose is David’s The Oath of the Horatii. The main ide of this painting is historical; three brothers make a promise to defend Rome and

“What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven” Summing up the philosophy of the great composer, Ludwig van Beethoven, the quote also reflects of the time in which he lived. Beethoven firmly believed in the dignity of man and that one should live in complete freedom without limits. Looking into the three parts of his life, early, middle, and end, one will learn about the inner life of the great composer

whole experiment. The experiment can be accessed by anyone, and makes all the numbers and interviews credible (Weingarten 1048). The author puts a large amount of ethos about the musicians. This keeps the audience from questioning the tone and sound that is used to catch the audience’s attention. Weingarten mentions one particular conversation he had. After telling Leonard Slatkin, the music director of the National Symphony Orchestra about the social experiment, Slatkin asks who the musician was (Weingarten

For my final project I chose to write this essay analyzing the piece Symphony No. 1 (In Memoriam Dresden, 1945) by Daniel Bukvich. There are several aspects that drew me to this piece. I originally heard this piece last summer at a concert performed here at UNI when I came to visit. I have always been intrigued by history and this song portrayed a very deep historical meaning. For this reason, I chose to analyze this piece not only musically but through a historical lens. Imagine a horrible firestorm

Background- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the Classical Era's most prolific and influential composers. Born in Austria, he composed over 600 musical works symphonies, operas, concerti, chamber music and choral pieces. His father, Leopold was a minor composer but experienced teacher and deputy Kapellmeister to the Archbishop of Salzburg. Wolfgang was brilliant from early childhood, and began to compose for the piano by the age of 5, causing his father to give up composition when he

minority’s in the United States and Britain, the lack of classical music opportunities in inner city schools, low advertisement of classical music to minority’s, and an unjust audition and commissioning process. In the United States, there are 117 symphony orchestras, and only four percent of those orchestras are made up of black or Latino musicians(WQXR). The first issue of racism in classical music are the remarkably low percentages of minorities in classical music and the uncomfort that minorities

Part 1 Background and Identification- There are quite a number of songs that have stood the test of time and geography to remain as vital and popular today as they were when first composed. Perhaps it is because some of these songs simply transcend time and place and appeal to the core of human emotion. Who cannot feel a thrill of excitement and humanity at the finale of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, or shed a tear at a favorite Christmas carol? One song that fits this transcendence is La Vie En Rose

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), is one of the eminent composers of the Classical period. "He is best known for his symphonies and string quartets, which established standards of quality, style, content, form, and expressivity that other composers emulated." Haydn spent most of his career serving the Esterházy family (1761-90), which isolated him from the music world, but forced him to become original, as he himself wrote. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) greatly influenced Haydn. He was

In the first movement of Wolfgang Mozart’s piece Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, it presents numerous features of what is being used during the classical period of music. The recording that was made by the Prague Chamber Orchestra is a good way to hear all of the classical features in the first movement. The first movement is the first track on the album that was published in 1985. While it has an excellent recording of the movement, it is not a traditional quartet but a larger ensemble. Along with
