Concert Reaction Paper
The name of the concert that I went to was called Prelude. The concert took place at the Embassy Theater in Fort Wayne Indiana. The Phil Fort Wayne Philharmonic played Rachmaninoff and Dvorak. There was a special soloist there named Johannes Moser. The soloist was wonderful. He was energetic and made the orchestra interesting to watch. He had large flowing motions and exciting cello strokes.
My favorite piece was Dvorak’s concerto in B minor for Violoncello and Orchestra, Op. 104. This piece was full and it had a bold sound to it. The soloist was wonderful as well. It made me feel so many emotions. It was intense and I loved listening to it.
A piece that I did not care for was the opening piece. It was called Overture …show more content…
It was very traditional and I really enjoyed listening to it. The music was so very well presented. I felt the group was unified. It was very good with dynamic interpretation as well. The only major complete I have was with the conductor. I could not find where the beat was when it came to the conductor. Sometimes the beat was in his wrist, sometimes it was in his forearm and sometimes it was in his elbow. I was trying to follow his conducting but I could not because I could not find the beat. The only other complete I have is that I felt the conductor was holding the orchestra back. I know that the orchestra could have sounded so much bolder. I felt he did not let the orchestra have room for movement. The conductor was not what I am used to. He did not seem to emit much emotion. But overall I enjoyed the experience. It was very …show more content…
I have gone to over 100 concerts in my life time. I have heard many different styles and genres of music. I am amazed at how beautifully performed all of the music was. I guess I could say that every concert is a new experience for me. There are little differences between each orchestra and each composer. At this concert we did not clap between second and third movements. That is different than how it works back home. My friend who drove me there and came with me had never been to a concert before. It was fun telling here all about it and what to expect. I was happy I was able to explain when to clap and when not to. I explained all of the different instruments and why the first chair violin is so important. I personally was in my element. The people that sat around us were at times rude and talkative. It was hard for me to concentrate wholly on the music. I was not nervous at all when I went to the concert. My friend was. I was able to help her. I say we both had a very enjoyable
