Staples Family Concert Report

Improved Essays
The concert that I attended was Faculty Artist Alexandra Mascolo-David, piano with Alicia Valoti, piano oriented. I attended this concert on February 20th,2018. The concert was at 7:30 and was located at the Staples Family Concert Hall in the music building.

The Variant of “Valsas Brasileiras” That I listened to was performed by Xiao Hu at Luther College. I found The piece on YouTube (https://youtu.be/u-14qal0xv4). This piece has very steady tempo throughout the entire piece. The tone would rise occasionally due to the other instrument being played alongside the piano. The piano did display some monotone methods through the piece but in all I felt it t was a great in comparison to other videos I had seen.

The other piece I listened to in correspondence with the concert I attended was the variant of “Schubert: Impromptu” by Olga Jegunova at Bishopsgate Institute (London). I found this piece on YouTube (https://youtu.be/w_z9oSn-eIM). This piece was exciting if yet anything it almost sounds as if its a Capriccio type of piece with its random espressivo in the piece. I was fond of the pianist talents as she displayed all the details of this piece by emphasizing but yet disguising the G flat because at first I thought I heard something else possibly even another instrument at first glance.

I expect the sound quality to be extraordinary better than the recordings I listen to. There should probably be like a vibrations flowing through the pianist hits every not if its correlated with speakers. As of my current musical taste I don’t exactly expect it to fit in with my genre of music but some instrumentals I listen to incorporate this kind of music. So it should be interesting if this music sparks some interest in myself while im

    Every day, I try to listen to a new piece of music. Whether it be a string group, unaccompanied choir, or even a percussion consort, I believe that by doing this, so much can be learned from just listening. About the mid-month of July, I came across this piece of music. I thought it was extremely fun and quirky at the same time! I had continued to listen to it, read some background information on the piece, and do a small amount of study on the work.…

    For my concert critique, I went to Jason Terry’s Doctoral Piano Recital on Tuesday, December 1st at the School of Music in room 206. Because Terry was able to pick the pieces he played, he picked a range of different pieces to emphasize his wide range of talent. He included older and modern pieces including Bach, Godowsky, Balakirev, Zorn, and Liszt. The first piece he played was “Prelude & Fugue, BWV 872” composed by Bach. I was a little unsure about the nature and form of this piece because it was unlike some of the more structured pieces we listen to in class.…

    Caprice sur les grands jeux composed by Louis-Nicholas Clerambault. I really enjoyed this performance because of the powerful intensity of the notes. The dynamics would change frequently from solft to loud music. Since it was a Recital, meaning a solo concert with or without an accompaniment, but in this case Guenette was playing the organ, I cannot comment if he was playing in tune or not since he was to only performer on stage and I was not familiar with the piece therefore, I would not have known if he was playing in tune.…
