Music Performance Review Paper

Since this winter Conservatory of Music hosted many variety performances, including new works such as unusual electroacoustic compositions, classics in wide number instruments. Among musicals that were performed in the Music studio, performances by the piano stood out with its soothing and familiar sound. Unlike computer-generated electroacoustic music performance in which performer included sounds baby cries, the piano music, especially in classical or pop genre, is more pleasant to hear. Widely known classics still have plenty of audiences and more widely appreciated than most of the current new styles.
